Abstract

This book collects the contributions of renowned scholars in the fields of sociology of deviance, criminology, cultural and media studies, and from different countries. By analyzing the unique conjunctural situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic it offers novel and unusual perspectives on the concept of moral panic that has encountered moments of emphasis and oblivion over the last fifty years, since its creation. Thus, it contributes to better contextualizing the concept in relation to the construction of social problems – and how this construction changes – in the contemporary world.
