Her work was featured in a Channel Four documentary, and she has appeared in interviews on ITV and the BBC.[4][6]

Goode has praised the work of the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld and the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.[7] Whilst being critical of practices such as chemical castration and critical of current clinical psychiatric criteria, believing them to be too narrow.[8]

In her book Understanding and addressing adult sexual attraction to children, presents case studies based on interviews she conducted with pedophiles.[9][10] She uses these case studies, as well as previous studies to counteract some of the false beliefs and alarmism that developed in the late 1970s in the United States, and in the early 1980s in Europe.[11][12]
