Abstract:

The author writes that anti-austerity protests and the revolts of August 2011 in the United Kingdom have led to the introduction of increasingly draconian forms of policing. Individuals involved in these demonstrations face severe collective punishments by the courts for the combined effect of what is done en masse.
