Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the intersection of public protests and police response, this book investigates the tragic fatalities of strikers in Australia due to police actions, highlighting the only three documented cases in the country's industrial history. It critiques police accountability, government biases, and the shortcomings of the criminal justice system. By analyzing the 2012 Marikana shooting in South Africa, the author draws lessons for improving police and union protocols during protests, questioning whether police actions were justified or indicative of systemic violence.
