argue that

are not

of Murdie.
The general

Much of the
existing

views HROs
as distinct
from forprofit or

are

solely by

principles

not
interested in

The book
examines
antiwar,
student, and
black
protest, and
studied the
responses of
the law
enforcement
and judicial
communities
to violent
protest in
the 1960s.

This book
pioneered
the study of
violent and
nonviolent
protests in
the United
States
looking into
the Civil
Rights
Movement
and before
that. This
book did
agree with
the studies
that had
been done
prior to it.

It is often
difficult to
determine
who was
responsible
for the
violence. The
reports of our
study teams
however,
clearly
suggests that
authorities
bear a major
responsibility.

This was one

of the first
times that the
reasoning
behind the
protests in the
US in the
1960s was
truly analyzed.
It is based on
facts and data
and used to
create and
augment
numerous
policies in the
United States.

Dr. Wendy
Pearlman has
studied or
conducted
research in
Morocco, Egypt,

Germany, Spain,
Israel, and the
West Bank and

has written two
books about the

movement,
focusing on the
causes and
consequences of
political violence
and rebellion.

Scholars
often
overlook
that an
adequate
explanation
of why a
movement
uses violent
means of
protest
requires an
account of
why it does
not instead
use
nonviolent
means. This
essay argues
that while
paths to
violence are
multiple,
there is one
prevailing
path to
nonviolent
protestthat
which opens
when a
movement is
politically

Dr.

that she
goes into

how
nonviolence
is the best
option
when trying

She has a way
