520 _aThis journal article discusses what the author describes as the emergence and development of child sexual abuse (CSA) as a social problem in the main English-speaking societies in the post 1970s period. The author argues that, in contrast to prevailing explanations in moral panic and feminist literature, this problem has become knowable and understandable to us as a new kind of risk. The author further argues that this is the result of the positioning of child sexual abuse between the tensions, uncertainties and anxieties characteristic of 'the age of anxiety' on the one hand, and the cultural understandings that have come to be associated with purity and danger in this period on the other.
