Stranger Danger examines the moral panic over child kidnapping and exploitation that erupted in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It shows how several high-profile cases of missing and murdered white photogenic children generated a national furor over child safety and led to the creation of new legal and cultural instruments designed to keep children safe-and to punish those who ostensibly wished them harm.
