This book, first published in 1989, examines how a seemingly
trivial incident can act as a flashpoint for wider disturbances. It
investigates the underlying causes, the immediate context of the
events, and the communication between police and crowd that takes
place within them. The authors' findings are based on first-hand
research into case studies of political demonstrations, community
disorder and industrial picketing in South Yorkshire, UK over a
five-year period. Wide-ranging in its approach, the book covers
industrial relations, police-community relations, and questions of
political representation and legal rights. The authors provide a
novel theoretical analysis, drawing on both sociology and social
psychology, which they apply to their own case studies and to other
instances of disorder, from Grosvenor Square in 1968 to Wapping in
1986. They also consider the possible impact of new public order
legislation, and the policy implications of their research.
