The re-emergence of prolonged and bitter industrial violence during the 1984-85 miners' dispute prompted many onlookers to speculate that British society was rushing headlong into anarchy. Others, more fearful of order than chaos, felt that they were witnessing the emergence of a police state. In this 1985 study, Dr Geary provides a fascinating and detailed account of the changing nature of industrial violence, in which historic episodes such as the Featherstone Shootings and Tonypandy Riots are examined as part of a general analysis of the shifting patterns of industrial confrontation. His central contention is that both police and strikers are subject to many, sometimes contradictory, political pressures in the industrial context. As these political constraints tighten or relax so the nature of industrial disorder and the corresponding tactics of police control change. This balanced appraisal of industrial violence illumintes what has become a political issue of the utmost significance.

Despite the traditional emphasis on problem solving in most criminal law courses, students are generally given little assistance in acquiring and developing the required skills. This book attempts to avoid the sink or swim approach by explaining and demonstrating, step-by-step, the procedure for successfully coping with complex problems in criminal law. Summary of the substantive law is provided in concise note form, so that students can not only quickly revise areas relevant to the various problem-scenarios considered in the text, but also gain an integrated overview of the criminal law. This book is not a criminal law textbook, casebook, or a collection of model answers. It is more akin to an in-depth tutorial programme designed to enable students to realise their full potential.
