Public Order: A Global Perspective

For Public Order Policing courses and advanced police courses in a Criminal Justice Program.

Representing a pioneering effort in the field of public order policing, this collection of articles-written by both practitioners and scholars from all continents of the world-presents public order from a global perspective. The articles address a multitude of public disorder situations and strategies (i.e. demonstrations, protests, celebrations, ceremonies, labor activity, traffic control, sports violence, inter-group violence and terrorism) to present the most comprehensive and contemporary perspectives on this subject. The articles cover a great variety of nations and offer a much more diverse collection of readings than the traditional focus on Western democracies.
