"A very good introduction to the continuing relevance and dynamism of the concept of moral panics in contemporary times." - Journal of Social Work "It provides a fresh angle, and contributes to updating and developing the original concept." Jan Fook, Professor of Higher Education Pedagogy, Leeds Trinity "The 'Revisiting Moral Panics' seminar series was a fantastic success. The book lives up to it fully, constantly engaging the reader in the struggle to make social scientific sense of real world events and preoccupations."
