Abstract

During the period of "classic" race-rioting in the United States, the character of violence reflected the social and demographic characteristics of individuals who inhabited specific locales in the city. In overt radical conflict in the post-World War II period, a new pattern has developed: participants with varying social and demographic attributes have been drawn to specific focal points where they give expression to a new militancy. This changed pattern reflects three more basic changes: in the mode and pattern of the assault upon the accomodative structure, in the orientation and activity of organized police forces, and in the nature of the accommodative structure itself.
