Public disorder has returned to the top of the political agenda,
and yet it is consistently met with confusion and misunderstanding.
Public discussion is superficial and emotive, contributing little
helpful enlightenment and creating no prospect of sensible policy
change. "Contemporary Issues in Public Disorder" presents the
flashpoints model, to explain that public disorder is most likely
to occur where a group perceives that its rights are being violated
or denied. The model is demonstrated in a selection of vivid case
studies which are both international and historical in scope,
covering British and American inner city riots, sports spectator
violence, and the troubles in Northern Ireland. In particular
Waddington traces the growth of police powers and assesses how
effective democratic control over police behaviour actually is.
Other perennial issues are discussed too. Does media coverage have
an inflammatory effect, for instance, and should the media be
discouraged from reporting ongoing disorders? This book should
replace the recurring confusion and misunderstanding by presenting
a comprehensive and reasoned analysis of the key contemporary
issues surrounding public disorder.
