This book takes an eciectic theoretical approach to understanding the causes and management of public disorder, drawing on social scientific studies of collective conflict, and the policing of crowds and social movements. The author has drawn on his own first hand research to produce an engaging and highly readable study focusing on the use of original case studies and original data (eg on the 2001 Burnley riot and the recent 2005 British G8 summits) to illustrate the causes of public disorder in a generally applicable yet sharply focused manner. The book describes and critiques the major theoretical approaches to public disorder and applies the Flashpoints Model to examples and case studies. The book is highly readable and accessible through the use of original case studies, including tables and diagrams.
