A very readable and accessible book which is also rigorous and well researched.
Written by Jon Silverman (BBC Home Affairs Correspondent) and David Wilson (former prison governor) - public figures with many contacts in the press and media.
Based on original research with serving and released paedophiles, both in this country and North America.
Unique access gained to prisons and to The News of the World, and their "naming and shaming campaign".
First sustained attempt to answer the question of how to protect our children from the threats posed by predatory paedophiles.
