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.

"A wonderful resource, user friendly and very well written." -
Timothy J. Horohol, John Jay CollegeA unique approach to studying
police forces around the globe How do police forces around the
world move toward democratization of their operations and
responses? Analyzing police forces from 12 different countries,
Comparative Policing: The Struggle for Democratization assesses the
stages of each country based on the author's development of a
"Continuum of Democracy" scale. Key Features Using five basic
themes, this book uses the following criteria to rank and evaluate
where each country falls on the continuum, clarifying how policing
practices differ: - History of a democratic form of government -
Level of corruption within governmental organizations and the
oversight mechanisms in place - Scope of and response to civil
disobedience - Organization structures of police departments -
Operational responses to terrorism and organized crime Intended
Audience: This unique analysis of policing is an ideal text for
