Moral panic is defined as a mass response to a perceived threat that is often exaggerated or irrational, and can spread rapidly through society. The fear and concern associated with moral panic can lead to moral and legal action that is often not based in reality. Examples of moral panic include the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 1990s, and the fear of "superpredators" in the late 20th century.
