Crowds are among the most visible expressions of democracy – whether in celebration, protest, or tragedy – but they are also moments of tension, where rights, safety, and authority collide. This book explores how societies manage these critical encounters. Drawing on dramatic case studies from Britain, Europe, and the United States, it reveals how crowd psychology and policing intersect, why disorder spreads, and how legitimacy can be won or lost in the space of a single decision.
Policing the Crowd is the first comprehensive account of how crowd psychology has transformed policing. What makes this book distinctive is the depth of its embedded research: written from inside the process, it offers unmatched insight into how evidence has directly shaped policing practice and policy reform.
Some of the key features of this book are as follows:
- Traces the history of public order policing from nineteenth‑century Britain to the English riots of 2011 and the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020
- Explains how ideas about crowds evolved – from classical theories to the social identity approach
- Presents how these theories were tested in practice across diverse settings: in football stadiums, on city streets, and in moments of national crisis
- Provides comparative analysis across the UK, the US, and Europe
- Reveals how embedded research partnerships translated theory into practical operational strategies
- Emphasises legitimacy, dialogue, and facilitation as critical elements in conflict prevention
Combining compelling case studies with theoretical clarity, it provides scholars, practitioners, and policymakers with a powerful framework for understanding and managing one of democracy’s greatest challenges.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
