Contemporary Issues in Public Disorder: A Comparative and Historical Approach

Description

In a comparative study drawing on material from the United States and Britain, David Waddington examines the reasons behind various types of industrial, political, urban and sectarian disorder. Contemporary Issues in Public Disorder critically appraises the theoretical approaches to understanding public disorder and contributes to the ongoing debates on police methods, police accountability and the role of the media.

What are the crucial situational dynamics which determine an initial "flashpoint" incident which might escalate into a major conflagration? Have recent extensions of police powers and tactical and technological developments in crowd control been allowed to go too far? Are the current mechanisms of police accountability sufficiently effective? In what ways does the media contribute to disorder? Drawing on both field and academic work, Waddington provides insights into the key questions and debates surrounding public disorder and its control. Contemporary Issues in Public Disorder is of interest to students and scholars of sociology, politics, social psychology, industrial relations, media studies, criminology and socio-legal studies.
