moral panics  

Définition

  • Moral panics—artificially created crime scares— have long and strong roots in American history. Researchers, often influenced by critical conflict-oriented Marxist themes, have demonstrated that moral entrepreneurs demonized “dangerous groups” to serve their own religious, political, economic, social, cultural, and legal interests.
