I have no idea whether the Stan Cohen who obtained a personalized copy of The Art in Cartooning: Seventy-five Years of American Magazine Cartoons (1975) was also the sociologist who coined the term moral panic. The original drawings in the book added at a signing by cartoonists George Booth, Sam Gross, Gahan Wilson, and Bill Woodman don't necessarily shed any light on the possibility. If there's panic in any of these four drawings, it isn't particularly moral.

Note: There are now nine—go ahead, count 'em—unique copies of The Art in Cartooning posted in the archives here, a claim no other blog can match. Is this then a good place to stop? Of course not. Collectors in possession of their own interesting copies of the book are urged to forward images of the interesting parts to the proprietor of this blog. With a little luck, there won't be any more cucarachas.
