Item Description:What is refreshing about <I>Beyond Control</I> is the vision for the kind of society in which protestors and police recognize their mutual humanity as well as how both are needed for a democratic society to function well. ' <P><B>From the Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu</B></P> <P>How can large protest crowds be better and more respectfully managed by police? </P> <P>This topical book applies the principles of community-based conflict resolution to the policing of large crowds, suggesting a completely new approach that moves away from the discourse of rabble-rousing mobs towards negotiated management, and a paradigm of mutual respect for protesters as principled dissenters and for police as non-repressive agents of public order. Both are needed, the authors argue, in order for democracy to flourish. </P>
