In fact, thousands of people are tragically killed each year due to riots all over the world. Riots can unpredictably and violently erupt for a number of reasons, including for religious, racial, economic, social, and political reasons.

What those measures are is exactly what we are going to cover in this guide. But first of all, what is a riot? A riot is simply any situation where a group of people will act in an uncontrolled and violent manner, usually in an urban environment. Recent events from all over the world have clearly proven to us that not only are riots real, they are also incredibly dangerous and life threatening. A riot is actually one of the most likely survival situations that you are ever likely to face. But let me ask you something, do you know what to do and what not to do when you find yourself in the middle of one? Do you know how to survive a riot? Regardless of what your personal views or political opinions are, something that we should all be able to agree upon is that both across the world and in the United States, tensions are rising. The result is that the threat of civil unrest is rising to. For example, in the United States, we don't need to look any further than the riots that happened in Baltimore and Ferguson. Globally, we don't need to look any farther than the Ukraine. It is these events and others like them that prove to us that riots are real and violent, and that no one is immune to them. In this book, we are going to discuss how you can prepare for and escape riots in detail. The specific steps that we are going to analyze include: -Step #1: Why Riots Are A Serious Threat -Step #2: How To Prepare For A Riot -Step #3: Practicing Situational Awareness -Step #4: Surviving The First Few Minutes Of The Riot -Step #5: Escaping The Riot -Step #6: Final Tips By the end of this guide, you will be much better prepared for riots and you will know how you can quickly and safely escape them without harm.

Book excerpt: The Oklahoma City bombing, intentional crashing of airliners on September 11, 2001, and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001 have made Americans acutely aware of the impacts of terrorism. These events and continued threats of terrorism have raised questions about the impact on the psychological health of the nation and how well the public health infrastructure is able to meet the psychological needs that will likely result. Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism highlights some of the critical issues in responding to the psychological needs that result from terrorism and provides possible options for intervention. The committee offers an example for a public health strategy that may serve as a base from which plans to prevent and respond to the psychological consequences of a variety of terrorism events can be formulated. The report includes recommendations for the training and education of service providers, ensuring appropriate guidelines for the protection of service providers, and developing public health surveillance for preevent, event, and postevent factors related to psychological consequences.

Book In Defense of Looting

    Book Details:
  • Author : Vicky Osterweil
  • Publisher : Bold Type Books
  • Release : 2020-08-25
  • ISBN : 1645036677
  • Pages : 262 pages

Download or read book In Defense of Looting written by Vicky Osterweil and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh argument for rioting and looting as our most powerful tools for dismantling white supremacy. Looting -- a crowd of people publicly, openly, and directly seizing goods -- is one of the more extreme actions that can take place in the midst of social unrest. Even self-identified radicals distance themselves from looters, fearing that violent tactics reflect badly on the broader movement. But Vicky Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution and improving life for the working class -- not to mention the brazen messages these methods send to the police and the state. All our beliefs about the innate righteousness of property and ownership, Osterweil explains, are built on the history of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous oppression. From slave revolts to labor strikes to the modern-day movements for climate change, Black lives, and police abolition, Osterweil makes a convincing case for rioting and looting as weapons that bludgeon the status quo while uplifting the poor and marginalized. In Defense of Looting is a history of violent protest sparking social change, a compelling reframing of revolutionary activism, and a practical vision for a dramatically restructured society.

Download or read book What is a Disaster written by E.L. Quarantelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1998-03-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are conflict situations such as the ethnic clashes in Yugoslavia or Rwanda, terrorist attacks and riots, the same kind of social crises as those generated by natural and technological happenings such as earthquakes and chemical explosions? In What is a Disaster?, social science disaster researchers from six different disciplines advance their views on what a disaster is. Clashes in conceptions are highlighted, through the book's unique juxtaposition of the authors separately advanced views. A reaction paper to each set of views is presented by an experienced disaster researcher; in turn, the original authors provide a response to what has been said about their views. What is a Disaster? sets out the huge conceptual differences that exist concerning what a disaster is, and presents important implications for both theory, study and practice.
