I heard twice about this book: the first time was in an anthropology manual and the second googleing something about history of motorcycles, cafe racers and similar. So I decided to order it and I was not let down: the subject is very interesting, very present in every day life (creation and manipulation of the image of the "bad guy" and creation of moral panic among the citizens) and extremely well presented with plenty of examples.
Particularly useful for those who try to understand the mass media, cultural or social anthropology and sociology, but most of all a pleasant reading.

Folk Devils and Moral Panics: 30th Anniversary Edition ペーパーバック – 2002/11/1
英語版
Stanley Cohen
(著)
Stanley Cohen's study of Mods and Rockers in the 1960s was a foundational text both in terms of investigating the workings of subcultural groups and identifying the concept of a 'moral panic' generated by the media, which leads to groups being vilified in the popular imagination, and inhibits rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. The insights Cohen provides into subculture and mass morality are as relevant today as they were when the book was originally published in 1972, as illustrated by the author's introduction for this new edition, in which he tracks moral panics over the last thirty years, commenting on the demonization of young offenders and asylum seekers and on the News of the World's 'name and shame' campaign against paedophiles.
Revisiting the theory of moral panic and exploring the way in which the concept has been used, this new edition features a select bibliography of key texts for further reading. The third edition of Folk Devils and Moral Panics makes available a valuable and widely recommended text.

People be crazy...

Especially apropos in current political social climate ... Written well, entertaining...on point. Reminding me, whatever the current moral panic (be it climate change, bad politics, or ...whatever) ...it will soon be replaced by another...ha!

Critical Criminology at its best!

Stan Cohen's work which first explored the idea of the moral panic is a necessity for any one interested in the field of critical criminology.

FABULOUS book

This book is a must for anyone studying criminology, sociology, psychology... or who just has an interest in human nature and how we are influenced by outside pressures. This 30th anniversary edition has been updated to reflect more recent events such as the killing of James Bulger (the original was written about the Mods and Rockers phenomenon). Whether you read it as a textbook, or simply out of an interest in social history, this is unmissable. Unlike many sociologists, Stan Cohen uses accessible language - always a bonus when reading for coursework!! :D
