"those who start the panic, fear of the mainstream of social and cultural values ??are threatened those who can be called" moral advocates ", and assumed the threat to social order, who is a" folk devil " .
moral panic has some notable features, which produces a whole process is Cohen with "abnormal amplification spiral" concept to be explained. The spiral form by the following steps. First concern: people are alert to acts of certain groups or other factors may have a negative impact on society; followed by hatred: the challenge of being the hate groups of people piled up the group into a "folk devil", this Department will produce a significant opposition: "They" and "us"; then consensus: although the concern is not national, but challenged by social groups come to identify the formation of a real threat to their own,

many examples of moral panic, To take a famous person. April 20, 1999, the United States Denver suburb of Columbine school shooting tragedy, down 13 students and teachers of students in two cruel merciless gun under fire. When later it became known that they had played before in the implementation of the shooting of the video game violence, the U.S. media and public outcry, have identified the electronic game is the appalling tragedy of the culprit.
This example shows the moral panic often point to popular culture. From this perspective, moral panic is not new phenomenon, has been long been accused of cultural products include vulgar drama, video, video games, rock and rap music, etc.,

In many events, it is difficult to establish popular culture and the increase in crime, immorality causal relationship, but the self-appointed moral vigilantes who are always popular culture as a scapegoat, which is to avoid social problems to face a legitimate excuse . For example,
