Abstract

Criminal prosecutions & trials are normal events in the life cycle of many protest efforts & often have important consequences for the struggle between social movements & their opponents. Even so, social movement & law & society scholars have neglected protest prosecutions & trials since some initial work twenty to thirty years ago. This article discusses the relevance of these legal events for issues in contemporary research & offers several hypotheses for future investigation. More generally, it argues that the study of the social control of social movements will benefit from addressing the criminal proceedings arising from political dissent. References.
