  Focuses on the nature of direct action in relation to contemporary movements, and considers the role of direct action methods in past campaigns for constitutional and social rights. This study examines boycotts, sit-ins, obstructions, civil disobedience and other unconstitutional forms of protest to see whether they necessarily lead to violence.
