Familiar Strangers, Juvenile Panic and the British Press: The Decline of Social Trust

by James Morrison

Book Overview

This book argues that Britain is gripped by an endemic and ongoing panic about the position of children in society - which frames them as, alternately, victims and threats. It argues the press is a key player in promoting this discourse, which is rooted in a wide-scale breakdown in social trust.
