- The study of mods and rockers riots.
- Reflect he anxieties at the time which caused moral panic to occur.
Moral panic reinforces hegemony, this is done by the media showing what is and isn't acceptable. So when youths try to express themselves in an unusual way that has not been seen before by adults they try to stop it by being negative towards it. This shows that youths not allowed to express themselves differently within society as it seen as unacceptable. The media places the blame of the youth as they see them as an easy target, this then causes moral panic to happen to try and remove the behavior that isn't considered to be in the norm.
