ABSTRACT
In 1991, I was making a film called Acceptable Risks. The object of the film was to assess how well allegations of child abuse were being investigated in the UK. Later that year, I made a film on children who sexually abuse other children. The research for both films covered the work both of police, social workers and various specialist charities. As far as this book is concerned, what is relevant is what various workers assumed they could learn either by observing or manipulating the play of vulnerable children.
