Stan Cohen

• deviancy amplification, folk devils, moral panics

• sensationalised media reports of problems between mods and rockers, more trouble occurred as a result

• disproportionate figure- leads to more arrests & distrust with police within black culture

CA to Philips & Bowling - Durkheim

• police work in our favour and reflect society’s value consensus
