Description
Scandals do not just happen. They are made. This book examines landmark scandals from the post-war period, including recent ones like the Victoria Climbié Inquiry, to understand how they are generated and whose interests they serve. By analyzing transcripts, press coverage, and other contemporary sources, the authors reveal the complex relationship between public policy and scandal. Each scandal is placed in its own historical context to explore cause and effect. The book sheds light on the role of public inquiries in shaping the narrative around scandals and how these events are used to inform policy.
