Folk Devils and Moral Panics
The Creation of the Mods and Rockers
Book • 1973
This book, first published in 1972, is a seminal work in sociology that explores the concept of 'moral panic' using the example of the Mods and Rockers youth subcultures in the UK. Cohen analyzes how minor incidents can escalate into major societal crises through media sensationalism and political amplification.
The book provides insights into subculture, mass morality, and the psychology and sociology behind moral panics, making it essential reading for those interested in media studies, psychology, and social behavior.
The later editions include updates on how the concept of moral panic has been applied over the years to various social issues.
