Tyrone the Horrible by Hans Wilhelm

Tyrone the Horrible by Hans Wilhelm

The way in which police handle political demonstrations is always potentially controversial. In contemporary democracies, police departments have two different, often conflicting aims: keeping the peace and defending citizens' right to protest. This collection, the only resource to examine police interventions cross-nationally, analyzes a wide array of policing styles. Focusing on Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Spain, the United States, and South Africa, the contributors look at cultures and political power to examine the methods and the consequences of policing protest.

Hans Wilhelm is one of America's foremost author-illustrators of children's books, with over 42 million books in print. Many of his books have been translated into more than thirty languages and have become successful animated television series that are enjoyed by children all over the world. His books have won numerous international awards and prizes, and his work can be found in leading collections and museums across America. Hans was born in Germany and lived for many years in Africa before coming to America. He now lives in Connecticut in an old farmhouse where a converted horse stable serves as his studio.
