Examines the ways in which the police, social workers, doctors
and other health workers provided often conflicting perspectives
on the Cleveland child sex abuse controversy. Looks
retrospectively at the change in attitudes towards detecting
signs of abuse, and diagnosis procedures by doctors, in addition
to providing a descriptive analysis of the police and society's
perception and treatment, of victims and perpetrators of sexual
crimes. Highlights the media attention focused on Cleveland at
the time of the controversy, with an analysis of state versus
parent power. Includes a chronology of events
child abuse, physical abuse, planning, counselling, social
services, social class, unemployment, depressed area, child care,
family, press, training, community, law, courts, politics, Butler
