Collective acts of “spontaneous” street violence have been a popular means to carry out reprisals, raise grievances, and assert a group's prerogatives for hundreds of years in both western and nonwestern societies. The timing and shape of popular unrest have been used to explain a variety of conflictive situations. Indeed, the persistence of riots throughout history highlights their effectiveness both in addressing specific social issues and in initiating social change.
