moral panics and drug laws  

Definición

  • A moral panic is the widespread feeling on part of the public that something is wrong in their society because of the moral failings of a group of individuals. The concept was developed by British sociologists examining the tendencies of certain actors to sensationalize events, conditions, or behaviors and to identify them as emblematic of moral failures that threaten the social order.
