New Research: How do European police forces deal with (violent) disturbances by non-institutionalized protest groups?
A study by Don Weenink (UvA) & Laura Keesman (RUG)

However, growing distrust of European governments seems to provide a basis for group formation of people who share strong anti-government sentiments, hold anti-democratic ideas, and believe in the effectiveness and necessity of violence against the government and against persons and organizations representing it.
