COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Jan 2009, Pages: 64
The civil disturbances in the 1960s have clearly
illustrated range of problems in the domain of crowd
control. Especially the current debate on crowd
control is focusing not only the policing the crowds
but also the rights of the people in terms of acting
together in forms of demonstrations or protests. The
purpose of this book is to explain the concept of
collective behavior from macro and micro level
approaches and the policy implications they imply
for the Turkish National Police Organization. This
work will start with the general characteristics and
the classification of collective behavior. Second,
two main perspectives on collective behavior, which
are the macro and micro level approaches, will be
examined respectively. The question will be asked
whether these two approaches efficiently and
effectively explain the crowds and the crowd
control. Finally, the other factors in crowd control
will be explored, and recommendations concerning the
handling of crowds in a more peaceful manner will be
made.
