Snatched: Child Abductions in U.S. News Media

Spring-Serenity Duvall

Leigh Moscowitz

Peter Lang, 2015

Stories about missing children capture national headlines and dominate
public discourses about crime and deviance, child safety, parenting, the
American family, and gender and sexuality. Through an exploration of
hundreds of reports from newspapers, news magazines, television
broadcasts, and web stories, /Snatched/critically analyzes how news
narratives construct the phenomenon of child abductions, the young girls
and boys who fall victim, the male perpetrators of these horrific
crimes, and the adult victims of long-term abductions who were found
years later.


We are happy to answer questions or discuss. More information can also

Cheers,

Spring and Leigh
