Moral panic as a major aspect of criminal justice system is of importance in this article. The criminal justice system workers identified include the police, media, and the politicians. The police are tasked with ensuring that crime is prevented. On 23rd January 2016, deutsche welle news service, as well as the Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper all reported on Saturday the phenomenon of sexual violence paired with thievery was far more widespread on New Year’s Eve than previously thought.

One of the players namely the media said that the report covered acts of sexual offences in public places. Media’s major task is giving information through the journalists and newspaper editors about crime. However, there is a challenge where the media gives exaggerated or inaccurate information. The media is also misused by those in power to make statements about the minority resulting to abuse of power. Politicians are also a part of the criminal justice mainly because they form the government. The article also covered the brilliant ways con men use for instance a surprise hug in order to distract in order to pick their pockets. In the article, the other players are police who are allowed to use all means including violence to deal with crime.

The criminal justice systems have been condemned by the minority mainly because they use their power to oppress the minority. The politicians refer to the minority as subversive. The public refers to the politicians as intolerant mainly because they don’t put into consideration the problems of the minority. They concentrate on the majority and their needs. The media on the other hand does not voice the needs of the minority or their views.
