Crowd Behavior and Public Order: A Study
|
Prof. Israel Barak-Glantz and Dr. Idit Hakimi During the past several years the Israeli society has experienced numerous public order incidents with rather serious consequences. As part of its policy for coping with this reality, the Israel Police developed an operational doctrine entitled Operational Guide: Riots within the Green Line Borders. As a complementary step to that document and in order to provide an empirical basis to those guidelines, the study reported herewith was commissioned by the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Public Security, and was conducted by Dr. Abraham Carmeli and Iris Ravid-Yamin of the Pilat Institute (Israel) Ltd.
The goal of the study Crowd Behavior and Public Order was to classify, characterize and analyze the various types of mass events in order to propose appropriate methods to cope with the differing kinds of situations. Mass incidents, events and demonstrations, in this context, are terms used interchangeably, and include mass riots. | |

Using Environment and Empowerment to Prevent Crime: The Dimona Mezila Project
|
Yamit Alfassi Dimona is a town of about 40,000 people situated in Israel’s sparsely populated southern desert region and the Kovshei Eilat neighborhood is one of the town’s oldest ― fourteen forty-year-old four-storey apartment blocks that have not been renovated since they were first built. There are no tenants’ committees in these blocks (as there are all over Israel) because the tenants cannot organize themselves sufficiently for the task, and there is no lighting in the stairwells because the tenants cannot/will not make sure that the electricity bill is paid regularly.
In 2005, Metzilah (the Ministry sponsored local Councils for the Prevention of Violence in Israel) decided to try and equip the Kovshei Eilat residents with the tools to combat the problems of drugs and violence their adolescents were up against. | |
