Moral Panics in contemporary Britain


Follow this link to a really interesting resource on the London Riots of 2011.

http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/teaching-resources/folk-devils/thinking-beyond/activity-stop-five.aspx

Using the first 2 hyperlinks on the webpage, compare how the rioters were represented in:
1. the mainstream media
2. the detailed research conducted by The Guardian newspaper

Write a report on your findings which addresses how the media can contribute to stereotyping, myths and moral panics.
