- Abstract:
The article discusses the rape crisis at U.S. campuses as a cause of moral panic. Topics covered include the study of moral panics as a discreet area of academic specialization, the components of a tribal moral community, and the campus climate of ever-expanding indignation and self-righteousness. Also mentioned is how the definition of sexual assault has become so broad to encompass almost all romantic contact.
