Civil disorder

Civil disorder, also known as civil disturbance, civil unrest, civil strife, or turmoil, is a public disturbance involving violent acts by an assemblage of persons, which causes an immediate danger or results in damage to property or injury to persons. Civil disorder arises from civil disobedience. The general populace or some sector of it is aroused to civil disorder in the cause of effecting change or reform of government policy, or amelioration of what is perceived as a social ill or inequality. Law enforcement and security forces are often called on to maintain public order, tranquility or normality. Civil disorder includes protests and demonstrations, acts of civil disobedience, and blockades of roads and occupations of buildings. Acts of civil disorder may begin and end peacefully; they may start out peacefully and become violent, sometimes in response to actions taken by law enforcement forces or lack of attention by government officials. In cases such as some riots, they may be violent at their inception. They may be targeted at garnering attention form the public to draw them onside in a dispute. They may be done in hopes of ratchetting up the level of public fear or uncertainty and disruption of normal life, thus making the status quo untenable or unattractive. They may be unplanned and arise on the spur of the moment and act as a release of pent-up emotion; they may be planned in advance with careful consideration of tactics and the goal in mind.

• Civil Unrest (SO0103) - UNDRR

  Civil unrest is generally understood to include violent and non-violent group acts such as riots, protests, and isolated and sporadic acts of violence (Braha, 2012; Basedau et al., 2018). The perceived or actual motivation for the act is often emphasised when describing collective action as civil unrest, alongside a clash with authority (Ramakrishnan et al., 2014). Frequently cited explanations include tension or dissatisfaction over political, economic or social changes/conditions (Kalyvas, 2000). According to Basedau et al. (2018:5), 'One can conceptualize civil unrest as a special form of collective action and people need to be motivated and able to exert it.'

• Civil Disturbance - FL SHMP

  Skip Navigation Add to Favorites Add to Favorites Civil Disturbance DESCRIPTION According to FEMA, civil disturbance, sometimes referred to as civil unrest, is an activity such as a demonstration, riot, or strike that disrupts a community and requires intervention to maintain public safety. Crowd dynamics and how people act when they are part of a crowd are complex topics. Crowds provide a sense of anonymity and therefore a sense of invulnerability and anyone in a crowd is susceptible to behaving contrary to their normal behavior. Emotional contagion is a serious psychological factor of crowd dynamics, which provides a temporary bond of unity and can push a simple organized crowd into a mob.

  Social unrest includes civil disorders, acts of mass civil disobedience, and strikes. They differ in their legality and tactics (especially the use or avoidance of violence), but all are acts by groups of people that are intended to disrupt a community or organization. Civil disorder is a public disturbance by a group or groups of people involving acts of violence that cause immediate danger, damage or injury to others or their property. They are often but not always politically motivated. They are both illegal and violent. Civil disorders can be divided into two rough categories: those in which the perpetrators deliberately set out to harm others and those in which the perpetrators are focused more on crimes against property. Most of Seattle's disorders have been the latter. [...] Civil disobedience is the nonviolent refusal to obey certain laws as an act of political protest. Civil disobedience is illegal but non-violent. Strikes are collective work stoppages by employees designed to force an employer to meet employee demands. Most strikes are legal and peaceful, but they can be both illegal and violent. There are not clear lines differentiating civil disorder, civil disobedience, and strikes. The World Trade Organization (WTO) protests began with acts of civil disobedience then spiraled into civil disorder.
