This article provides the first rigorous survey of coverage in the twentieth-century British press of what we now call ‘child sexual abuse’. It argues that abuse was always visible, but its place on the press agenda changed significantly. After 1918, coverage was mainly restricted to brief, euphemistic reports of court proceedings. During the 1950s and 1960s, reporting became more explicit, but abuse was repeatedly conflated with ‘homosexuality’ or other ‘deviancy’. Only from the mid 1970s was ‘child abuse’ conceptualized as a distinctive ‘social problem’, and it became a key issue in press debates about permissiveness and social change. Even as abuse hit the headlines, however, we can see that the press’s attention was restricted to certain manifestations of it, and the cultures sustaining it were not properly interrogated.

“报纸将铁锹称为铁锹会更好”:英国媒体和儿童性虐待,c。1918–90
本文提供了二十世纪英国媒体对我们现在称为“儿童性虐待”的报道的首次严格调查。它认为虐待总是显而易见的,但是它在新闻界的地位发生了重大变化。1918年之后,报道范围主要限于简短,委婉的法院诉讼报告。在1950年代和1960年代,报告变得更加明确,但虐待一再与“同性恋”或其他“歧视”混为一谈。直到1970年代中期,“虐待儿童”才被概念化为一个独特的“社会问题”,在有关宽容性和社会变革的媒体辩论中,它成为关键问题。然而,即使滥用成为头条新闻,我们也可以看到,新闻界的注意力仅限于其某些表现形式,并且没有适当地质疑支持这种行为的文化。
