道德恐慌通常与强大的国家或媒体力量对年轻人行为的解读有关。然而，这个概念在更广泛地理解社会问题是如何构建和呈现的方面也很有用。在本文中，我们考虑了一个模糊的术语，如“有组织犯罪”是如何成为美国和英国排他性修辞的工具的。在美国，有组织犯罪的道德恐慌起源于道德企业家，而英国的道德恐慌则以右翼媒体的言论和美国外交政策的影响为特征。
Moral panics are conventionally associated with the interpretations of youthful action imposed by powerful state or media forces. However, the concept is also useful in understanding more generally how social problems are constructed and presented. In this paper, we consider how a vague term such as ‘organized crime’ has emerged as a vehicle for exclusionary rhetorics in both the United States and Britain. While the origins of the organized crime moral panic in the United States can be located amongst moral entrepreneurs, the British version is marked by the outpourings of a right-wing media, and the influence of American foreign policy.
