Outstanding Analysis
This is an outstanding book on a horrible decade in American and Western European culture.

Outstanding Analysis,
By Alastair Foxx (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Day Care Ritual Abuse Moral Panic (Paperback)
This is an outstanding book on a horrible decade in American and Western European culture. DeYoung's sociological analysis of the American day care cases uses moral panic theory as its framework; in analysing the cases, she also refreshes an important but much abused and timeworn theory of collective behavior. She includes a brilliant chapter on the spread of the moral panic abroad, demonstrating her broad international savvy about these cases. The book is splendidly written,often witty, always insightful, but very accessible. It should appeal to a wide audience. I recommend it with enthusiasm.
