60th Anniversary of Sexual Behavior in the Human Female: The Impact of Research
"Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, the first Kinsey Report, came out in 1948. In the years before, Kinsey and his team took sexual histories of about 12,000 people. Out of this mountain of data, the Male volume analyzed information from 5,300 interviews with men.
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male was 804 pages of statistical tables, appendices, and dry academic analysis, but it still became a bestseller, selling over 200,000 copies, and a cultural sensation. People were starved for factual information about sex in America, and Kinsey's research struck a nerve. The book was widely debated, and Dr. Kinsey was invited across America to lecture about his research.
And everyone wanted to know - what about the women?"

The Futility And Mind-Numbing Frustration Of Prison - Not Fit For Purpose
‘The futility and mind-numbing frustration of prison’
"REVIEW: I am already on record as saying that there are not enough books about the true British prison experience, and this book is a welcome addition to that small number already in print, writes Noel ‘Razor’ Smith. Jonathan Robinson is an engaging writer with an eye for the characters and absurdities you would meet serving a short prison sentence."

The Most Totalitarian Ideas Suddenly Become Acceptable
March 2013
‘If you question the Savile crusade, you're seen as evil’
"Frank Furedi on his new book about Jimmy Savile, and why it's so hard, but so important, to challenge the moral crusade on child abuse.
Frank Furedi, author, sociologist and spiked writer, has written a new book called Moral Crusades in an Age of Mistrust: The Jimmy Savile Scandal. He talked to Tim Black about why he wrote the book, and why he expects it to win him few friends.
Tim Black: What made you write Moral Crusades in an Age of Mistrust?
Frank Furedi: I’ve become concerned about how the issue of children and abuse has become so badly moralised. It is as if any claim is permissible if you invoke children; the most totalitarian ideas suddenly become acceptable. When it comes to children and allegations of abuse, only one interpretation, only one story is permissible. If you treat child abuse as you would any other crime, and apply the same standards of justice, you are condemned as at best cruel and insensitive, and at worst as an accomplice to an act of paedophilia."

Yes, Not One Iota In A Good Way - Or The World

Paedophile [sic] net: Did Operation Ore change British society?
"It was the UK's biggest ever computer crime investigation. Thousands of people were accused of downloading images of child abuse - some were found to be innocent. The legacy is controversial. Ten years after the raids began, has Operation Ore really changed the UK?
On a cold, cloudy December day in 2002, Jonathan was about to take his class of children to chapel. His life as he knew it was about to end.
His headmaster appeared at the door and asked him to go with him. "There are two policemen who want to talk to you," he said."

10 years on..
"So what if operation ore had never happened what difference would it have made?
There would be several more people alive today that are dead now.
There would be hundreds less people deprived of work for looking at the wrong kind of images.
There would be hundreds fewer broken homes with, children with their loving parents rather than in care.
In short operation ore was a complete disaster; an unjustified witch hunt, that wrecked havoc and left many good people in fear of the early morning knock on the door. But no BBC reporter is going to say that."

Quite A Few Others
00:17, 30 November 2012 | UPDATED: 10:29, 30 November 2012
Should novelist Kingsley Amis and poet Philip Larkin now be regarded as paedophiles?
"Should late chums novelist Kingsley Amis and poet Philip Larkin now be regarded as paedophiles? Letters they wrote to each other indicate an interest in underage girls.
Says literary reviewer Christopher Hart: ‘Some of the letters housed in the Bodleian Library contain fantasies about girls aged between 12 and 16.
Perhaps they should be put on some post-mortem Jimmy Savile register, along with Elvis Presley, Edgar Allan Poe, Romeo [of Juliet fame], and quite a few others.’"
