Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the development of the Riot Act. Introduced in England in 1714 to prevent tumultuous assemblies, the Act required the reading of an official proclamation before violent crowds could be legally dispersed. The author explores how this measure was applied throughout the British colonial empire and how it became a powerful tool in the hands of authorities seeking to assert control. Through a comparative examination of its use in Britain, Ireland, British North America, Australia, and India, the book highlights the transnational dimensions of British imperial policing. This detailed examination sheds light on the historical evolution of policing strategies and their enduring legacy.
