Innocence Betrayed: Paedophilia, the Media and Society
Search in google:
In the wake of the murder of eight-year-old Sarah Payne in the UK in July 2000, the tabloid paper News of the World began a campaign of "naming and shaming" convicted pedophiles, there was an outbreak of vigilante style violence, and British legislators began considering community notification laws. Silverman (Home Affairs Correspondent, BBC) and Wilson (criminal justice, U. of Central England) analyze the development of these events and criticize "naming and shaming" as counterproductive. They also argue that fears of stranger abuse are exaggerated, helping to minimize the real danger of inter-familial sexual abuse. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
