Crowds in the 21st Century

Crowds in the 21st Century presents the latest theory and research on crowd events and crowd behaviour from across a range of social sciences, including psychology, sociology, law, and communication studies. Whether describing the language of the crowd in protest events, measuring the ability of the crowd to empower its participants, or analysing the role of professional organizations involved in crowd safety and public order, the contributions in this volume are united in their commitment to a social scientific level of analysis.

The crowd is often depicted as a source of irrationality and danger in the form of riots and mass emergencies. By placing crowd events back in their social context their ongoing historical and proximal relationships with other groups and social structures this volume restores meaning to the analysis of crowd behaviour. Together, the studies described in this collection demonstrate the potential of crowd research to enhance the positive experience of crowd participants and to improve design, planning, and management around crowd events.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.

John Drury is Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology at the University of Sussex, UK. His research interests focus on crowd conflict and identity change (empowerment) and mass emergency behaviour. He also runs a module on the psychology of crowd safety management for music industry professionals at Bucks New University, UK.

Clifford Stott is a Visiting Professor at the Socio-Technical Centre at the University of Leeds, UK, and runs his own consultancy and training company. His expertise focuses on the intergroup dynamics of crowd behaviour and the implications of crowd psychology for crowd management. He has published extensively on these topics in academic journals and co-authored two books, the most recent on the 2011 riots in the UK.

Contemporary Issues in Social Science
Series editor: David Canter, University of Huddersfield, UK

Contemporary Social Science , the journal of the Academy of Social Sciences , is an interdisciplinary, cross-national journal which provides a forum for disseminating and enhancing theoretical, empirical and/or pragmatic research across the social sciences and related disciplines. Reflecting the objectives of the Academy of Social Sciences, it emphasises the publication of work that engages with issues of major public interest and concern across the world, and highlights the implications of that work for policy and professional practice.

The Contemporary Issues in Social Science book series contains the journals most cutting-edge special issues. Leading scholars compile thematic collections of articles that are linked to the broad intellectual concerns of Contemporary Social Science, and as such these special issues are an important contribution to the work of the journal. The series editor works closely with the guest editor(s) of each special issue to ensure they meet the journals high standards. The main aim of publishing these special issues as a series of books is to allow a wider audience of both scholars and students from across multiple disciplines to engage with the work of Contemporary Social Science and the Academy of Social Sciences.
