These sexual panics spark moral crusades and campaigns, defining and shaping how we think about sexual and reproductive rights. The essays in \u003cb\u003eMoral Panics, Sex Panics\u003c\/b\u003e focus on case studies ranging from sex education to AIDS to race and the down low, to illustrate how sexuality is at the heart of many political controversies. The contributors also reveal how moral and sexual panics have become a mainstay of certain kinds of conservative efforts to win elections and gain power in moral, social, and political arenas. \u003cb\u003eMoral Panics, Sex Panics\u003c\/b\u003e provides new and important insights into the role that key moral panics have played in social processes, arguing forcefully against the political abuse of sex panics and for the need to defend full sexual and reproductive rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Cathy J.
