“…To do so, she may use a variety of non‐military methods, including negotiating with protest leaders, communicating directly with the protesters using a sound system, and blocking street segments. These measures are similar to those used by other democratic police agencies (e.g., Button et al ; Gorringe et al ; Noakes et al ; Rafail et al ). Depending on the number of protesters, preliminary risk assessments, and the resources available to the district, the event commander may also call for the help of national PPUs (see below).…”

The use of paramilitary methods in civil policing tasks has become common in Western police agencies. Despite propositions that such methods should undermine the relationship between the police and the public, the effect of paramilitary policing on public trust in the police has not been empirically tested. In the present study, we examine this question in the context of protest policing, which has become a major concern for Western police agencies. Using a survey of 470 protesters who participated in “Occupy” protest events in Israel in 2012, we find that the perceived use of paramilitary methods has an independent and negative effect on trust, stronger than that of police effectiveness and the “neutrality” component of procedural justice. In‐depth interviews suggest that the significance of paramilitarism may be the result of a sense of alienation and criminalization it elicits among protesters who generally perceive themselves as law‐abiding citizens.

“…Required permits facilitated the collection of information about protesters and planned events by the police, opened lines of communication with protest groups and helped police avoid on and in the job troubles like excessive force, brutality, burnout and high profile investigations of police conduct (Waddington 1994). It also reduced conflicts between police and protesters by making each better known and more predictable to the other (Noakes et al 2005, Noakes and Gillham 2006, Gillham and Noakes 2007, Gillham 2011 P.F.

“…Even the bronze bull, long a symbol of finance capitalism was protected against symbolic repurposing, vandalism or worse by barricades and a 24-h security detail. Hard zone borders are frequently sites of contention (Noakes et al 2005), and controlling them is a key tactic in police efforts to exert spatial control over public protest.…”

“…But what is also noticeable about these police and legal tactics in public space is that they often assume different degrees of coercion even in the same place of dissent depending on whether the authorities perceive protestors as engaging in non‐resistance dissent or resistance dissent. An illustration of this point can be gained from a study of anti‐war protests on 29–30 September 2001 in Washington, DC, by Noakes et al. (2005).…”

“…As Noakes et al. note, clashes between the police and ACC demonstrators occurred because the ACC challenged and actively resisted the containment of their demonstration and the police reacted in ways to reinstate that containment (Noakes et al. 2005, 251; see also Vitale 2005).…”

This article looks at some recent developments in the relationship between public space and dissent. The article does this by firstly distinguishing between dissent and resistance. Dissent is based broadly around disagreements between individuals in particular groups and contexts against a perceived grievance of some sort. As a result dissent can arise in a variety of contexts, especially within everyday life, popular culture, and with small acts of defiance against frustrations one experiences. These acts can also assume more overtly political modes in the form of resistance as when people demonstrate in the streets. The distinction is therefore useful because it helps us understand how the state and other governance mechanisms adopt policies and strategies to pre‐empt dissent and thereby prevent dissent from spilling over into resistance located in particular places. The article will examine how the state and governance have changed the way in which they pre‐empt the formation of spaces of dissent in order to effectively regulate them in the pre‐ and post‐9/11 climate. Taking examples from the USA and the UK, the paper explores these points through global social movements, law and dissent, planning and designing dissent, and the surveillance of dissent.
