Anno: 2013 - Volume: 20 - Fascicolo: 3 - Pagina iniziale: 0

In the years 2006-2007, Italy experienced a moral panic largely fuelled by concern forwomen's safety being "threatened" by immigrants. This empirical research, based on a very largedatabase (six national networks monitored for an entire year), focuses on the coverage of femalehomicides in Italian evening news, studying gendered themes and racial biases that shaped newsaccounts. Our findings support the use of "moral panic" as a valid scientific concept.
