Abstract

For this assignment we will be looking at the meaning of civil disorder. I will be

cause communication failures in any situation especially civil disorder. (Crime and

were back in 1927. The first emergency management plan was a fire brigade which was

later called General Security and fire services. A Royal Decree dissolved that and

formed General Directorate of Civil defense. The GDCD was able to get more

attention from the people. It was the main body of civilian defense during peace and

in time of instability. (Crime and Society)
