MONSTERS AND MEN

Softcover. In unique and unprecedented 'fly-on-the-wall' reporting, it was agreed by New Scotland Yard that a BBC team could shadow the work of the Paedophile Unit, part of the Serious Crime Group of the Metropolitan Police. Literally sharing the open-plan office of the Unit, the production team, led by Bob Long, followed the Unit in everything they did. The result 'The Hunt for Britain's Paedophiles', was one of the most important and revealing series ever shown on television. Here is the compelling story and the disturbing detail behind the BBC series. Bob Long has teamed up with DCI Bob McLachlan, head of the Paedophile Unit, to write a fascinating book which everyone who has any contact with children will want to read. This is not a comfortable read - it is too frank and revealing to be anything but disturbing. But this is because it tells us the truth, and the truth is very hard to bear. Children are too often abused because of ignorance and a lack of discernment. There are simple steps which can be taken to help protect our children. 278pp. trade size p/back.
