A City Possessed: The Christchurch Civic Crèche Case
Originally published in 2001, A City Possessed: The Christchurch Civic Crèche Case is the harrowing account of one of New Zealand’s most high-profile criminal cases – a story of child sexual abuse allegations, gender politics and the law. A penetrating analysis of the social and legal processes by which the conviction of Peter Ellis was obtained, and repeatedly upheld, raises major issues for our justice system and the way we see ourselves.
