Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

We Believe the Children

A Moral Panic in the 1980s

by Richard Beck

A journalistic history of the American day-care ritual abuse cases and the wider moral panic that accompanied them. Beck connects the panic to changing family structures, feminism, recovered memory therapy and anxieties about child care, and follows the McMartin and other trials. Well researched and analytical, it offers general readers a clear account of how the panic unfolded.
