关于英国使用某些公共秩序警务策略来应对近年来出现的骚乱，一直存在很大争议。本文探讨了一种不分青红皂白的公共秩序策略，受到相对较少的关注，即人群分散技术的使用。更具体地说，对使用警察指控（骑警或步行）和随后集体逃跑的情况进行了调查。一项访谈研究进行了20名参与者谁经历了这样的收费在英国城市的抗议活动。对数据的主题分析发现，尽管参与者报告了恐惧和最初的人群分散，但这些本能反应很快被更社会化的反应所取代，例如与他人合作和集体团结感的增强。此外，与会者报告说，他们更坚决地抵制被认为是警察的非法攻击。这种增加的集体团结被解释为一种共同的经验感，这与以前的人群行为研究中发现的相似。得出的结论是，驱散人群的策略，而不是分散人群，可以团结以前不同的群体，抵制进一步的警察指控，因此可能是适得其反的公共秩序警务战略。版权所有© 2013约翰威利父子有限公司语言：en
There has been much debate about the use of certain public order policing tactics in Britain in response to the disorder seen in recent years. This paper explored the use of an indiscriminate public order tactic that has received comparatively less attention, that of crowd dispersal techniques. More specifically, the use of police charges (either by mounted police or on foot) and subsequent collective flight was investigated. An interview study was conducted with 20 participants who experienced such charges at protests in English cities. Thematic analysis of the data found that although participants reported fear and initial crowd scattering, these instinctive responses were quickly replaced by more socialised reactions, such as co-operation with others and an increased sense of collective unity. Furthermore, participants reported greater determination to resist what were considered as illegitimate attacks by the police. This increased collective unity was explained in terms of a shared sense of experience that was similar to that found in previous crowd behaviour research. It was concluded that rather than fragmenting crowds, the tactic of crowd dispersal can unite previously heterogeneous groups to resist further police charges and so may be counter-productive as a public order policing strategy.
