Snatched ― Child Abductions in U.S. News Media

Authors Duvall and Moscowitz present students, academics, researchers, and general interest readers with an examination of gender and class myths that informed media coverage of kidnappings in the 2000s. The authors have organized the main body of their text in six chapters devoted to child abduction, when boys go missing, the ones who got away, and a wide variety of other related subjects.
