Stan Cohen's `Folk Devils and Moral Panics' was a brilliant and subtle exercise in grounded theory

A folk devil is a person or group of people who are portrayed in folklore or the media as outsiders and deviant, and who are blamed for crimes or other sorts of social problems

A moral panic is the intensity of feeling expressed in a population about an issue that appears to threaten the social order.[


Prof. Scott A. Bonn of Drew University talks about his important new book: Mass Deception–Moral Panic and the US War on Iraq which makes a statistical case and a rational case that BushCo statements led the American public to support the invasion and occupation of Iraq.(podcast)
