The past ten years have been marked by a series of high profile and
heavily mediatised riots across the globe. From the overspill of
racial tensions in Sydney to anti-police riots in London,
democratic societies have witnessed powerful and costly outbursts
of anger and violence. But what are the causes of these large-scale
episodes of collective disorder? Do they share common features? And
what can they tell us about the nature and significance of riots
more broadly? In this book, the authors address these questions and
more with a wide-ranging comparative study of rioting in five
countries (Australia, England, France, Greece and the United
States). Using a revised and expanded version of the Flashpoints
Model of Public Disorder, Matthew Moran and David Waddington
dissect these violent and ephemeral social phenomena, laying bare
their internal logic and demonstrating the essentially political
nature of riots.
