长期以来，专业社会工作一直关注社会正义、社会政策以及社会待遇与社会控制之间的关系。然而，有时，为了支持镇压政策，对社会凝聚力的潜在威胁被夸大了。英国社会学家斯坦利·科恩（Stanley Cohen）将这种时期称为道德恐慌，将毫无根据的指责和污名强加给在社会政治上较弱、不受欢迎的群体。通过将那些与特定社会问题相关的问题构建为偏差，并淡化潜在的结构性原因，道德恐慌促进了社会政策的制定，从而巩固了社会差距和不公正。了解道德恐慌如何影响对社会问题和由此产生的政策的看法，将使社会工作者能够确定特定的社会群体是否成为不公正的目标。通过综合美国政策领域中与社会工作者相关的道德恐慌的理论和实证文献（如非法药物、性行为和移民），本文为从业者、政策倡导者和研究人员提供了评估道德恐慌存在的指导。
Professional social work has long been concerned with social justice, social policy, and the relationship between social treatment and social control. However, at times, potential threats to social cohesion become exaggerated in the service of supporting suppressive policies. British sociologist Stanley Cohen referred to such periods as moral panics, which assign unwarranted blame and stigma to sociopolitically weaker, unpopular groups. By constructing those associated with a given social problem as deviant and downplaying underlying structural causes, moral panics foster the enactment of social policies that entrench social disparity and injustice. Understanding how moral panics influence perceptions of social problems and resultant policies will enable social workers to identify whether particular societal groups are unjustly targeted. By synthesizing theoretical and empirical literature on moral panics in U.S. policy arenas relevant to social workers (such as illicit drugs, sexuality, and immigration), this article offers guidance for practitioners, policy advocates, and researchers on assessing their presence.
