      Take a look at Mehdi Moussaid’s work. a French guy studying mobs, how people act like fluids in high number. Riots are just a part of it.

      You may find videos on YT, automatically translated I guess.

        I’ve read similar ideas about traffic acting like fluid in a pipe. I suppose starlings and those big schools of fish probably have some similarities, too L.

      maybe try sociology? sounds like something they’d do (the science, probably not the riots)
