Public Order - A Global Perspective (Paperback)

Public order is a major concern for government and police everywhere. In a world where we face protests, riots, terrorism, and quality of life demands that all threaten public order, the police in both Western and developing countries are anxious to understand the nature of these problems and develop strategies to bring peace and stability to their region without violating human rights. "Public Order: A Global Perspective" presents issues concerning public disorder from a multitude of countries to provide the audience with the most comprehensive perspective on this subject. This book represents a pioneering effort in the field of policing, as it is the first book that brings together a collection of articles on public order written by both practitioners and scholars from all continents of the world.
