Moral Panics is more than a classic text in social theory. In this newly updated and enlarged edition, it is an indispensable text for every twenty-first century scholar interested in the social construction and diffusion of fear. Barry Glassner, author of The Culture of Fear Moral panics remains one of the most hotly-debated sociological ideas to have entered the public sphere, so an up-dated version of Goode and Ben-Yehuda's pathbreaking work on this subject is very welcome. The new version is even more enlightening than its predecessor. Kenneth Thompson, Open University
