11 Preface This book discusses public order policing, protest and political violence. It considers the nature of protest and political violence, the groups and organisations that are engaged in activities of this nature, and discusses the response of the state and the police to such events. It is presented in dictionary format with the aim of drawing together in one work a wide range of topics that are related to this broad subject area. The activities associated with protest and political violence are varied. These include demonstrations and various forms of direct action, including civil disobedience and industrial disputes. Countercultural forms of protest are also considered, including protest conducted through music and also by styles of living that are different from those adopted by mainstream society. Political violence is considered in relation to riots and terrorism, accepting the view that some participants to such events regard their actions as purposeful, designed to bring about political changes (even if other participants are involved for other reasons, such as the presence of looters at riots). This book defines these activities and also considers the role performed by contemporary technology (such as social media) in facilitating protest and other forms of political violence. The book includes detailed case studies of a number of protests, commencing in This year has been chosen because it witnessed a number of protests across the world that were especially associated with students and young people. Accordingly, events that took place in Paris, Chicago and London are examined. It would clearly be impossible to include every protest that has occurred since 1968 and thus it has been necessary to present a highly selective number of case studies of events that have taken place to provide specific illustrations of protest and political violence. This selection has been governed by a number of factors, the most important of which is to provide specific examples of the wide array of activities that are embraced by the terms protest and political violence (including protests that are designed to affect the commercial practices of private sector bodies as well as to effect changes in the direction of public policy). The case studies that have been selected to illustrate these objectives are drawn from across the world, reflecting the historical and contemporary importance of protest and violence in the political affairs of nations which possess different political systems. They have also been chosen to illustrate the range of outcomes that may be achieved through the use of protest and political violence, ranging from attaining relatively minor changes in the direction xi

12 xii Preface of public or commercial policy to achieving the overthrow of a government and the initiation of regime change. In addition to the inclusion of case studies, the book also seeks to examine policing methods and practices that are adopted in connection with protest. This aspect of the discussion includes entries that examine specific police units whose role is to respond to anticipated (or actual) public disorder and the tactics they may deploy. Other entries consider police powers and the legislation from which these are derived in connection with specific forms of protest that include demonstrations, industrial disputes and terrorism. The book also considers some of the main groups that use protest as their chief form of activity to secure changes to public policy or to commercial practices. The entries associated with this aspect of protest place a number of organisations under a number of umbrellas, such as environmental protest groups, the peace movement, groups in opposition to capitalism and globalisation, Islamic terrorist organisations and urban guerrilla groups. As with other areas embraced by this book, the account is selective and primarily focuses on groups associated with causes of global concern. This book assumes no prior knowledge of the subject areas that are considered and is especially designed to whet the appetite of the reader to undertake further investigation into them. To aid this objective, each entry provides suggestions for further reading that will further enhance knowledge and understanding of public order policing, protest and political violence.
