Published in 1998. This research is based on observations made of
33 crowd events between February 1992 - February 1995. These took
place in Turkey, England and Wales and all of which involved a
large police deployment. In addition, informal interviews were
conducted in both countries, involving key figures in areas of
police public order training and practice. Further, visits were
made to training sites and public order units, to familiarise the
researcher with public order policing in both countries. Finally,
the researcher has attended three major public order courses
organised for the senior members of British police forces. This
research analyzes the underlying assumptions contained within the
existing theories in the field and attempts to adjudicate on the
validity of both classical and modern contributions to the
understanding of the field. The research concludes that any public
order policing, regardless of the political system it serves, will
tend to be relatively paramilitary and oppressive. Civilian public
order policing practices need to take account of an approach which
appreciates a wide combination of levels of understanding as
represented by Combined Factors Approach. Finally, it is argued
that the more public order policy reflects the potential level of
understanding promoted by the CFA the less emphasis on paramilitary
techniques will be deployed as tactics of last resort.
