This is a critical evaluation of the role of policing in maintaining public order and upholding civil and democratic rights. This is the first study based on systematic observation of how the police actually handle protest and potential or actual disorder. This book is intended for researchers and students in sociology, criminology, political science and law. It should also appeal to a professional market including the police, practising lawyers, civil liberties groups and trade unions.
