Description

Paula S. Fass (au). A mesmerizing look at some of the great kidnapping cases in America over the past 125 years. Explores how our fear has evolved from its first chilling realization in 1874, when Americans were startled & horrified to discover that their children could be held for ransom, until today, when sexual predators seem to threaten our children at every turn. Discusses the growing industry revolving around missing children, from not-for-profit foundations publicizing missing children to for-profit businesses offering to insure children against kidnapping. Provides new insights into parenting, the media & our fascination with celebrity, policing & law enforcement, gender & sexuality, mental health, etc.
