Patterns of Provocation: Police and Public Disorder


Add your own review!

Overview

The incidents explored in this volume 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.
