Abstract
Description
In this paper we examine the factors involved in changes in police
department planning for civil disturbances. The nature of these changes as
well as the internal and external organizational conditions affecting them
are discussed on the basis of intensive field studies we have conducted around
the country. But why we became interested in this problems requires an
understanding of the range of responses to civil disorders by municipal
police agencies, and how they historically have responded to criticisms of
their behavior in actual and potential riot situations.
