Crowds in the 21st Century presents the latest theory and research
on crowd events and crowd behaviour from across a range of social
sciences, including psychology, sociology, law, and communication
studies. Whether describing the language of the crowd in protest
events, measuring the ability of the crowd to empower its
participants, or analysing the role of professional organizations
involved in crowd safety and public order, the contributions in
this volume are united in their commitment to a social scientific
level of analysis. The crowd is often depicted as a source of
irrationality and danger - in the form of riots and mass
emergencies. By placing crowd events back in their social context -
their ongoing historical and proximal relationships with other
groups and social structures - this volume restores meaning to the
analysis of crowd behaviour. Together, the studies described in
this collection demonstrate the potential of crowd research to
enhance the positive experience of crowd participants and to
improve design, planning, and management around crowd events. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary
Social Science.
