Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This Book has also been published as The Broxtowe Illusion: Ritual Abuse, Inquiry, and the Making of a Moral PanicThe Broxtowe case is often remembered for its dramatic allegations, but its real significance lies in what it reveals about how institutions think, investigate, and fail. THE SATANIC ERROR: How Institutions Created a Moral Panic - A Documentary History is a precise, fully documented examination of Britain's most influential and misunderstood child-protection investigation and the chain of events that followed it across the 1980s and 1990s.Drawing on the suppressed Joint Enquiry Team (JET) report, the official La Fontaine inquiry, contemporary records, and the professional culture of the period, G. R. Whitcombe reconstructs how a case of multigenerational familial abuse was gradually overlaid with an interpretive narrative of "ritual" and "satanic" activity-despite the absence of corroborating evidence. The book shows how interview errors, imported therapeutic theories, organisational pressures, and asymmetric information allowed an interpretive model to flourish inside institutions while the corrective findings remained out of sight.From Nottingham to Rochdale, the Orkney Islands, and Ayr, Whitcombe traces how belief in hidden networks spread across agencies, influencing practice, training, and public perception. The book examines why the original findings were suppressed, how professional networks such as RAINS accelerated the narrative, and how the panic finally collapsed under national scrutiny. It also analyses why belief in concealed abuse persisted into the digital era, and how figures such as former detective Jon Wedger illustrate the post-panic shift from institutional evidence to personal testimony in public discourse.This is not a sensational account. It is a documentary study of institutional vulnerability: how interviewing methods became distorted, how memory was misunderstood, how warnings were ignored, and how well-intentioned professionals helped create one of late-twentieth-century Britain's most consequential safeguarding failures.The Satanic Error is essential reading for safeguarding practitioners, social-work educators, legal professionals, journalists, and anyone concerned with how public institutions handle complex allegations. Its central lesson is a simple one: safeguarding requires vigilance, but vigilance must be governed by evidence. When narrative outruns method, error This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For more than a century, The Wizard of Oz has been presented as a harmless children's story-a fantasy of colour, courage, and homecoming. Its repeated retelling has rendered it familiar, comforting, and largely unquestioned. Generations have grown up with its images and phrases, encountering it early and revisiting it often.This book takes that familiarity as its starting point rather than its conclusion.The Wizard of Oz: How a Children's Tale Exposes the Modern Illusion does not argue that L. Frank Baum set out to write a secret political tract, nor that the story contains a coded manifesto waiting to be decoded. Instead, it advances a more limited and historically grounded claim: that stories absorb the conditions of the worlds in which they are written, and that some narrative structures endure because they continue to align with how authority, perception, and reassurance are organised in everyday life.Written in a calm, investigative style, the book examines how Oz operates internally before widening the lens outward. It traces the story's reliance on guided paths, mediated perception, distant authority, symbolic rewards, and carefully managed closure. Each element is examined for what it does within the narrative rather than what it is presumed to "mean."Particular attention is given to how exposure functions in the story. The Wizard is revealed, the spectacle collapses, and yet the system remains intact. Resolution is delivered not through transformation, but through reassurance. Experience is acknowledged, then neutralised. Memory persists, but consequence dissolves.From the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, from the enforced spectacles to the curtain itself, the analysis proceeds step by step. The book then follows the story's logic beyond Oz, examining why similar arrangements remain familiar in modern contexts. Education systems, courts, banks, corporations, bureaucracies, and media environments are discussed not as conspiracies, but as ordinary institutions shaped by efficiency, abstraction, procedure, and continuity.Throughout, the emphasis remains descriptive rather than prescriptive. No solutions are proposed. No call to action is issued. The book does not argue that understanding leads to reform, nor that clarity produces change. It distinguishes function from intention and observation from advocacy.Instead, it offers a way of looking. The final sections explore what it means to see without enforced lenses-how discernment differs from rebellion, why truth often appears quietly rather than dramatically, and why systems that are widely recognised nevertheless continue to operate. The analysis closes not with instruction, but with orientation.For readers interested in cultural analysis, media literacy, and the mechanics of modern authority, this book provides a careful examination of why The Wizard of Oz still works-and why, once its structure is recognised, its logic is difficult to unsee.
