Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

Satan's Silence

Ritual Abuse and the Making of a Modern American Witch Hunt

by Debbie Nathan & Michael Snedeker

A journalist and a defence lawyer investigate the day-care sexual abuse prosecutions of the 1980s and early 1990s, such as the McMartin and Kelly Michaels cases. They show how suggestive interviewing, therapists, prosecutors and media fears about Satanic ritual abuse produced wrongful convictions. A landmark critical work on the Satanic panic and the dynamics of moral panics in the justice system.
