Abstract
This presentation outlines some key characteristics of public events which have been identified in the relevant literature as salient factors in promoting peaceful events and subsequently field researched and analysed by the authors. These characteristics are explained according to theoretical bases derived from contemporary criminology and public health paradigms as well as from case studies and direct observations undertaken by the researchers. Problems associated with public events and good practice strategies are illustrated by examples from several different types of sporting, music and other recreational events.
