Over the past thirty years social scientists and particularly
social historians have stressed the need to take popular protest
seriously. The corollary of this, the need to take the policing of
protest seriously, seems to have been less well acknowledged. The
aim of this volume is to redress this situation by probing, in
depth, a limited number of incidents of public disorder and
focusing particularly on the role of the police. In doing so, this
collection will draw out general patterns of police provocation and
public responses and suggest general hypotheses. The incidents
explored range across Europe and the United States, involve
different kinds of political regime, and are drawn from both the
interwar and the postwar years. They pose important questions about
the effects of riot training and specialist equipment for the
police, about the reality and roles of "agitators" and of "rotten
apples" amongst the police, and about the role of the media and the
courts in fostering certain kinds of undesirable and
counterproductive police behavior.
