State anticipatory policing and activist innovation jointly forged the social movement

Evidence

A deep change in British policing, for example, occurred between 1750 and the 1830s; that change involved agents of the state in anticipatory control of potentially unruly crowds. In the course of that internal history of struggle, collective-action innovators and entrepreneurs such as John Wilkes, Lord George Gordon, Orator Hunt, Daniel O’Connell, John Doherty, and Feargus O’Connor sometimes had major impacts on prevailing forms of action. They helped create the social movement, with its devices of meeting, marching, petitioning, displaying, and attacking, as a standard means of pursuing shared ends. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 359

Categorization

• XREF: Relevant to the reader’s asymmetry test: policing (repression of subordinate contention) and the permissive institutionalization of the social-movement device (used by all parties) develop hand in hand — the state simultaneously absorbs some contention forms while policing unruly ones. — connects to: Grassroots activism linked racial profiling with police repression across groups; Local technology-industry culture shaped the methods of neighboring activist movements; Resistance to neoliberal racial management triggers more invasive state control — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race: Reflections on…, 1803 (+1 more)
• SEED: The named innovators — Wilkes, O’Connell, Hunt — each an individual historical anchor for an essay on how the social-movement package crystallized in Britain.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 359
