Policing Dissent

Description:

Provides a firsthand account of the changing nature of control efforts employed by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies when confronted with mass activism. Based on ethnographic research, and using an incisive, cutting-edge theoretical framework, Fernandez maps the use of legal, physical, and psychological approaches. Fernandez does not merely seek to explain the causal relationship between repression and mobilization. Rather, he shows how social control strategies act on the mind and body of protesters.
