Summary: “Events of protest and dissent have been the subject of much global debate and
media attention. However, no one book has dealt with the wide range of protests nor with the
terminology associated with the state and police response to it. This dictionary explores a variety
of issues related to the policing of public order, protest and political violence providing a
comprehensive overview of international protest since 1945. It defines the key terms associated
with these activities and, through the use of a number of international case studies, it includes
numerous examples of protest and dissent that have taken place across the world, and the groups
and organisations which have utilized these forms of political expression.Written in an accessible
style, each entry is accompanied by a list of sources and suggestions for further reading through
which readers can extend their knowledge of each of the topics. This unique and in-depth resource
will be an essential guide for scholars across Criminology, Criminal Justice, Policing, Political
History and International Relations.”—Provided by publisher.
