Public Order: A Global Perspective

by Dilip K. Das (Editor), Allan Y. Jiao (Editor), International Police Executive Symposium (Editor)

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 that offers a much more diverse collection than the traditional focus on Western democracies. Readings address issue-oriented protests, mass actions centering on quality of life demands, the impact of terrorism on public order policing, crime as public disorder and public order policing within the context of community policing. For police executive officers, police managers, and police researchers.
