Abstract

This paper further reviews the Moral Panic Theory/TKM (Moral Panics Theory). This theory departs from sociological concepts that see conflict in society that departs from an issue that is dichotomously divided on the grounds of good and bad, right and wrong morality and is considered to have the potential to threaten national security in the long term. There are several linear stages in TKM in early TKM models initiated by Cohen (1972) and developed more or less similarly by Hall et al. (1978). Then came the constructionist model which was heavily influenced by Blumer's thinking. Technological developments and shifting issues from social problems such as motorcycle gangs, mugging and drugs to more sensitive social issues such as sexuality cause the dynamics and complexity of TKM analysis. The concepts of power and the role of the media, for example. This paper describes the initial concepts in TKM and its development in a situation of changing issues, power and development of mass media technology, which in the end must adapt to the existing situation.
