Includes index
Human action is guided by social structure, but there are also many situations in which behaviour is improvised, emergent, and outside conventional normative constraints. This book focuses on these types of occasions, which include panics, crowds, social movements, and organized behaviour following disasters. This book is divided into two parts. The first part concentrates on social behaviour in disaster situations, while the second looks at collective behaviour and social movements
