This book draws on a wide range of studies of collective conflict
and the policing of crowds and social movements to provide an
understanding of the causes and management of public disorder. It
seeks to describe and explain the processes by which the police
interpret and respond to instances of public disorder, to account
for variations in their strategies and tactics, and to identify the
conditions in which police interventions (or inaction) may serve to
enhance or reduce the potential for wider confrontation. In
addition to providing a penetrating review and critique of relevant
theory, the author employs a combination of existing studies and
first-hand research to explore the lessons, both practical and
theoretical, of recent examples of British and American urban
disorders, the policing of worldwide anti-globalisation protests
(such as the British G8 protests of 2005), and the activities of
British football fans abroad between 1990 and 2006. These case
studies are brought together to provide an engaging and sharply
focused explanation and evaluation of contemporary police methods
for avoiding or controlling public disorder. Policing Public
Disorder will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in
policing, crowd behaviour and issues around public order and
disorder.
