Cohen's Moral Panic


Folk Devils - Folk devil is a person or group of people who are portrayed in folklore or the media as outsiders and deviant, and who are blamed for crimes or other sorts of social problems .

One Example of folk devil in the media today is singer Chris Brown, the reason being is because of his popularity in the media today. Chris Brown is mainly known for his music but he is also known for his darker side after his violence on singer Rihanna. in my opinion he should not be on the front cover of magazine as he has committed a crime and his music should also not be played.

Other Folk Devils Are:
Marilyn Manson
Gary Glitter
Micheal Jackson
