Moral Panics reveal much about a society's social structure and the sociology embedded in everyday life. This short text, ideal for use in undergraduate social problems or social deviance courses, uses fascinating stories from American popular culture, to help convey the "sociological imagination" to undergraduates. An effective text also for undergraduate popular culture courses.
