Conference Proceedings: National Conference Addressing Issues Related to Celebratory Riots

By Melissa Aab, Laurie Rosenblum, and Linda Langford

In November 2003, The Ohio State University hosted a two-day conference on celebratory riots in Columbus Ohio. Co-sponsored by University of Minnesota and the U.S. Department of Justice, the meeting brought together multiple stakeholders to share research and experiences about the problem of campus riots and other disorderly behavior, and to discuss concrete strategies for preventing and addressing these disturbances. Participants from around the nation included university administrators, community members, students, city and state government officials, law enforcement personnel, and national organizations. This document is a summary of the conference proceedings.
