Read reviews or order this book "This work is a sociologically based analysis of the
day care ritual abuse panic in America. It introduces the concept of moral
panic and analyzes its relevance to the ritual abuse scare, explores the
ideological, political, economic, and professional forces that fomented the
panic, discusses the McMartin Preschool case as the incident that brought
attention to satanic menaces and children, and examines the dialect between
the various interest groups that stirred up and spread the moral panic and
the day care providers accused of ritual abuse. Also covered are the popular
culture representations of day care ritual abuse, the diffusion of the scare
to areas overseas, the institutionally symbolic and ideologically
contradictory social ends of the panic, and the outcomes of the panic in
various settings. The book ends with a discussion of moral panic theory and
how it needs to be changed for a complex, multi-mediated postmodern culture,
and what lessons can be learned from the scare."
