Dr David Waddington
'Public order in a modern society is fragile - and is vulnerable to
ill-considered government policies. In Contemporary Issues in
Public Disorder Waddington constructs a powerful indictment of the
callous incompetence of the Thatcher administrations in the field
of law and order. This book is a major contribution to the
literature on civil disorder in the UK.' - John Benyon, University
of Leicester
'In many respects it is currently the best critical analysis of
public disorder ...' - Times Higher
