King’s active and daily participation in that movement, from its inception through its demise, provides a unique insider perspective to illustrate how the Oakland police and city administrators lost the ability to effectively control the movement.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Drawn from King’s intensive field work, the book focuses on the physical, legal, political, and ideological dimensions of repression-in the streets, in courtrooms, in the media, in city hall, and within the movement itself-\u003ci\u003eWhen Riot Cops Are Not Enough\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the central role of political legitimacy, both for mass movements seeking to create social change, as well as for governmental forces seeking to control such movements. Although Occupy Oakland was different from other Occupy sites in many respects, King shows how the contradictions it illuminated within both social movement and police strategies provide deep insights into the nature of protest policing generally, and a clear map to understanding the full range of social control techniques used in North America in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Commune by the Bay: The Origins of Occupy Oakland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 From Permits to Storm Troopers: Repression, Social Control, and the Governmentality of Protest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The Oakland Commune, Police Violence, and Political Opportunity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Legitimation Repression through Depoliticizing It: Federal Coordination, “Health and Safety,” and the November 2011 Occupy Evictions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Putting the Occupy Oakland Vigil to Sleep: Anti-Gang Techniques and the Oakland Police Department’s State of Exception\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 The Meshing of Force and Legitimacy in the Repression of Occupy Oakland’s Move-In Day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Poison in the Garden: A Spring of Seeds That Never Grew\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Beyond Control: Fostering Legitimate Counter-Conduct\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003eIndex\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563702120728,"sku":"9780813583730","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/when-riot-cops-are-not-enough-the-policing-and-repression-of-occupy-oakland-paperback-softback-9780813583730","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
