Passavant explores how the policing of protest in the United States has become increasingly hostile since the late 1990s, moving away from strategies that protect protestors toward militaristic practices designed to suppress legal protests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book affected me like a good shot of whiskey. Complex, bracing, needed.” -- Lester K. Spence, author of * Knocking the Hustle: Against the Neoliberal Turn in Black Politics *\u003cbr\u003e“Although of late a lot has been written on policing, nothing that I have read takes up this important topic of protest policing, let alone gives it such a far-reaching and well-supported reading. The policing of protest turns out to be a distinctive but truly revealing piece of contemporary policing, one that no one has covered as comprehensively as Paul A. Passavant does in this text.” -- Jonathan Simon, author of * Mass Incarceration on Trial: A Remarkable Court Decision and the Future of Prisons in America *\u003cbr\u003e“A masterful book filled with keen insights about policing protests using grounded data and compelling stories. It’s easily the best analysis I’ve read on this topic and sets a new standard for theoretical integration, clarity, and real-world relevance.” -- Peter B.

The book is at once sweeping in its implications, nuanced in its arguments, and detailed in the evidence it brings to bear on these questions. It will be of great interest to scholars of social movements, policing, and law as well as a broader audience of those concerned about protecting the freedom to engage in dissent.\" -- Heidi Reynolds-Stentson * Criminal Law \u0026amp; Criminal Justice Book Reviews *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  ix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction.
