商品描述
Riots and reading are exepctional though not unusual social phenomena. Despire occurring irregularly, they are sufficiently common to be matters about which most of us have some knowledge. They have been the subject of considerable to extended scrutiny for more than a century, with psychologists, historians and sociologists at the forefront of scholarly inquiry.
Tim Newburn's international and comparative study offers a close analysis of protest, social movements and the violence connected with them. The book looks at riots across the world, ranging from those in America - from the sixties to the revent post-George Floyd uprisings -, in Europe, the Middle East - during the so-called 'Arab Spring' - and Hong Kong's Umbrella movement. Reading Riots questions why such violence occurs, uncovers what happens during riots and takes an extensive look at the legacy of such disorder.
This comprehensive book will be of great value to those interested in riots and protest, the policing of such disorder and its consequences, as well as social movements and protest violence in recent times.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
暴動和閱讀雖然是例外但並不罕見的社會現象。儘管它們發生不規則，但足夠普遍，以至於我們大多數人對此都有一定的了解。這些現象在過去一個世紀以來一直是相當廣泛的研究主題，心理學家、歷史學家和社會學家在學術探討中處於前沿。
Tim Newburn的國際比較研究對抗議、社會運動及其相關的暴力進行了深入分析。這本書考察了全球的暴動，涵蓋了美國的暴動——從六十年代到最近的喬治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd）事件後的騷亂——以及歐洲、中東（在所謂的「阿拉伯之春」期間）和香港的雨傘運動。《閱讀暴動》質疑為何會發生這樣的暴力，揭示了暴動期間發生的事情，並廣泛探討了這種混亂的遺產。
這本全面的書籍對於那些對暴動和抗議、對這種混亂的警察執法及其後果，以及最近的社會運動和抗議暴力感興趣的人來說，將具有很大的價值。
