Moral Panic and the Politics of Anxiety is a collection of
original essays written by some of the world 's leading social
scientists. It seeks to provide unique insight into the importance
of moral panic as a routine feature of everyday life, whilst also
developing an integrated framework for moral panic research by
widening the scope of scholarship in the area.
Many of the key twenty-first century contributions to moral
panic theory have moved beyond the parameters of the sociology of
deviance to consider the importance of moral panic for identity
formation, national security, industrial risk, and character
formation. Reflecting this growth, the book brings together
recognized moral panic researchers with prominent scholars in moral
regulation, social problems, cultural fear, and health risks,
allowing for a more careful and critical discussion around the
cultural and political significance of moral panic to emerge.
This book will prove valuable reading for both undergraduate and
postgraduate students on courses such as politics and the media,
regulatory policy, the body and identity, theory and political
sociology, and sociology of culture.
