About this book

Moral Panic: Changing Concepts of the Child Molester in Modern America by Jenkins, Professor Philip. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300073874.

Over the past century public images of child molesters have varied widely, ranging from a view of sexual offenders as confused individuals unlikely to repeat their crimes to a much more threatening notion of compulsive predators with little hope of cure. This timely book explores the cultural and political contexts of responses toward child molestation and examines how and why attitudes have fluctuated.
