AUST & NZ JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY (June 1978) 11(95-105) 95 THE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED DEMONSTRATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Andrew A Campbell" The politically motivated demonstration and direct action has become an increasingly prevalent form of protest and dissent in liberal democracies which poses complex problems for Government and law enforcement agencies. The role of the State as possessing the monopoly of legitimate physical force' is increasingly challenged by various forms of "extra parliamentary opposition" consisting of radical extremist, and subversive organizations and minorities which, for a variety of ideological motivations are promoting the demonstration and various forms of direct action as a means of protest and dissent, resulting in the increasing threat of the escalation of politically motivated violence. The following analysis is concerned with the use of the demonstration as a political weapon of the extremist (communist) left. However, the politics of confrontation and demonstrations are increasingly adopted by the extreme right; the crucial distinction between the respective extremist "left" and "right" is that the extreme left poses a clear and present danger and threat to the functioning of liberal democratic society in terms of the capacity to systematically mobilize political disaffection into extremist patterns of political action
