Child abuse, incest, child molestation, Halloween sadism, child
pornography: although clearly not new problems, they have attracted
more attention than ever before. "Threatened Children "asks why.
Joel Best analyzes the rhetorical tools used by child advocates
when making claims aimed at raising public anxiety and examines the
media's role in transmitting reformers' claims and the public's
response to the frightening statistics, compelling examples, and
expanding definitions it confronts. Drawing on a wide range of
sources, from criminal justice records to news stories, from urban
legends to public opinion surveys, Best reveals how the cultural
construction of social problems evolves.
