Riotous Citizens

by Paul Bagguley, Yasmin Hussain

It is a study of the major riots of 2001 in Bradford, which became infamous in part because of the severe penalties meted out to the so-called rioters. From my point of view, as a theorist of policing of public disorder, it’s a very provocative book. I do nonetheless recommend that people read it to look at the principles of effective policing nominated by the authors.
