Public Order in India

An Empirical Study

Indiana University, Bloomington

The nature of public order varies across societies and time. The analysis of public order and social control of disorder requires an understanding of the nature of public order in society. This article analyzes public events that occurred in a city in India in a year. After empirically examining each event, a classification system for public events and for quantifying disorder is proposed. Based on these aspects, the contours of public order in India are defined.
