Introduction
This unit examines complex social issues undermining public order and safety and the social, psychological and physical risks posed to individuals, groups and the community by disorderly behaviour. The management of these risks concerning such matters as alcohol and drug intoxication, indecency, loitering offences, protest-gatherings and noise pollution is analysed and assessed. Policing policies and legal implications relevant to these matters are critically analysed and assessed, with particular attention paid to street-level discretion and controversial policing theories and practices associated with the "Broken Windows" theory and "zero-tolerance policing".
