- An original piece of research synthesising material about patterns of protest in History from ancient times to today: The complexity and range of examples discussed is considerable. This account predominantly utilises secondary sources, but also primary research – including detailed reference to court records of London's 1780 Gordon riots.
This sociological analysis generates critical insight into the dynamics of past and present movements, how they’re labelled, their ‘deviance’ - and some of their commonalities. It is multi-disciplinary study, investigating the interdependence of law and social movements.
