Governing Child Sexual Abuse

Focusing on the implications of public inquiries into child sexual abuse cases in Great Britain during the 1990s, the author explores the intersection of family dynamics and state regulation. By integrating contemporary debates in social and political theory, the book examines how these inquiries influence governance and policy regarding child protection and familial relationships. Samantha Ashenden provides a critical analysis of the evolving landscape of child welfare and the responsibilities of state institutions.
