This book offers a comprehensive framework for the study of moral
panics. It provides an up-to-date overview of the history and
development of the concept of panic, and discusses the key
criticisms and debates that have stemmed from its use over the last
four decades. While investigating the critical connections between
crime reporting and panic development, Wright Monod also highlights
the overall importance of social context, and social theory, for
understanding episodes of moral panic. Two case studies - one on
murdering teens, and the other on gangs and guns - are explored to
demonstrate the efficacy of the framework, and five research phases
for panic study are extensively analysed. Drawing on the nature of
sensationalist media coverage, and considering the impact of new
media ecosystems in panic development, this innovative study
considers the shape of the field of moral panic scholarship today
and, crucially, the directions in which its study is heading. This
is an informed and original book which will appeal to scholars of
risk, deviance, and criminal justice.
