Broschiertes Buch

Familiar Strangers, Juvenile Panic and the British Press

The Decline of Social Trust

Beschreibung

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.
