The problem of how to investigate allegations of historic sexual abuse involving children and youngsters is extraordinarily difficult. On the one hand, there's recognition that in the past complaints were not taken as seriously as they should have been. On the other, there's the danger that clouds of suspicion can be generated on the basis of evidence that's shaky, and can't be tested, with consequent damage to people who can't answer back, not least because some of them are dead. This week's extended Panorama on Â鶹ԼÅÄ1 looked at some of the allegations surrounding alleged cover-ups involving establishment figures and children and aired some doubts about the process.

Roger Graef is a film maker and criminologist who made the Panorama programme on child abuse and murder investigations.
