- HALL ET AL
- applied the 'new criminology'
- suggested crime was used to reassert the dominance of ruling class hegemony at a time when it was under threat due to economic crisis
- to reassert hegemony the ruling class owned media stirred up the public by exaggerating the problem of black crime & created demands for something to be done to stamp it out
- suggested societal reaction to crime, fuelled by media exaggeration, created moral panic
