      abstract = {This book examines how scandal allegations have been  managed in the contemporary era in the United States and  how understandings of the impact of scandal on political  credibility have changed over time. It incorporates  prominent scandals, at both federal and state level, in  which sudden and unexpected revelations created an  uncertain political environment. The primary focus is on  sex scandals and how damage limitation strategies have been  utilized in order to try to limit and accommodate a demise  in political standing. The book considers how damage  limitation strategies were utilized, the core components of  each, and their impact on the political standing of the  individuals involved. Rather than marking the end of a  political journey, scandal increasingly appears to be an  issue that can be perceived as a temporary impediment in a  political career. Robert Busby is Senior Lecturer in  Politics at the Department of History and Politics at  Liverpool Hope University, UK.},
