Discussion:
David Haddock and Daniel Polsby are professors of law at Northwestern University. They published an article -"Understanding Riots" for the Cato Institute in the Cato Journal, which can be accessed at https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/cato-journal/1994/5/cj14n1-13.pdf.
According to the article, what factors are typically necessary for a riot to ensue? What factors can be used to stop a riot? What policies do they recommend for preventing riots?
In your opinion, what other factors may be useful in preventing riots? Examine these riots: LA Riots, Ferguson, Chicago 1968, Watts 1965, Stonewall Riots, Seattle 1999, and Arab Spring.
