Whenever a major event requires police intervention, questions are raised about the nature of the police response.

Based upon real case studies of events from all over the world, this volume explores the complex set of factors comprising the policing of major events. Events covered include the World Cup, the Olympic Games, the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11, the Haitian earthquake, and Hurricane Katrina.
