PUBLIC ORDER AND THE POLICE. A report on the events in Trafalgar
Square Sunday 17th to Monday 18th September. 1961

Author(s): National Council for Civil Liberties
Publisher: NCCL 1961, 16pp
Keywords: Policing Police NCCL Liberty

Contents:
"This report on the handling of the demonstration called by the
"Committee of 100" on September 17, 1961, in Trafalgar Square,
is published because it would appear at certain times the police
overstepped their powers in the way in which they dealt with
demonstrators and individual citizens in the area at that time
Furthermore the preventative measures taken by the authorities
were in our view unnecessary and unwise; the council is anxious
that this occasion should not set a precedent for the use of such
methods and measures to deal with or prevent future assemblies.

Our work is only possible with your support.
