AN ANALYSIS OF MAJOR AMERICAN RIOTS. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 120
By conducting sound research to understand the
concepts surrounding rioting and
efficient riot response tactics, professionals,
especially whose main job is to ensure
the tranquility in the society, will be better
prepared to deal with all kinds of civil
movements. The purpose of this study, consequently,
is to meet the growing need for
educational materials in this area and to provide
riot response case studies, which
demonstrate the numerous administrative challenges
faced by law enforcement
decision makers. In this study, seven major riots
from throughout the United States
are discussed including the Hay Market Riot of 1886,
the Watts Riot of 1965, and Los
Angeles Riots of 1992. Each riot case is studied in
five different and independent
stages: the setting and pre-disturbance situation,
basic causes of the event, the
disturbance situation, the response to the riot, and
the aftermath of the incident. In this book a
special reference is given to the deficiencies of
American
riot policing and some recommendations were formed
accordingly.
