"Moral Crusades in an Age of Mistrust examines the sociological meaning of the sudden
transformation of Jimmy Savile, the cultural icon, into the personification of evil.
The epidemic of scandals unleashed by the Savile Scandal highlights the precarious
status of relations of trust. The rapid escalation of this crisis offers insights
into the relationship between anxieties about childhood and the wider moral order.
This exploration of the emergence of a moral crusade explains why western society
has become so uncomfortable with the exercise of authority."--Page 4 of cover
