Below is a link to a BBC Open University documentary that explores the nature of Moral Panics. It might be more suitable for teachers rather than students but it offers an excellent overview of this topic. The film includes an interview with Stan Cohen who provided the first real analysis of how the media creates a moral panic when he offered a study of the violence between mods and rockers in the 1960s. This is well worth a watch.
