<p> <em>Crisis and Control</em> explains how neoliberal shifts in political and economic systems are militarizing the policing of protest. The book offers a way to understand the influence of political processes on police practices and provides an empirical study of militarized protest policing from 1995 until the present. </p> <p> Lesley J. Wood shows how protest policing techniques have become more militarised and more dependent on intelligence gathering over the past fifteen years partly as a result of the neoliberal restructuring political, economic and social processes. On an increasingly integrated and tumultuous globe, new militarized technologies, formations and frameworks are diffusing quickly through policing networks. </p> <p> <em>Crisis and Control</em> uses novel theoretical and methodological approaches and a unique range of empirical data to make an important and radical contribution to a growing field. </p>
