N2  - Detailed analysis of repeated teen-age resort riots is presented to illustrate selected processes involved in crowd conventionalization. A model of conventionalization is constructed which emphasizes the interdependence of police control, public opinion, and crowd action. Special consideration is given to neglected properties of crowd situations which can be accounted for in terms of patterns of police control and the independence of status systems and modes of crowd participation.<p />
