Mobbing (Scots law)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For mobbing in relation to bullying behaviour, see Mobbing.
Under the law of Scotland, mobbing, also known as mobbing and rioting, is the formation of a mob engaged in disorderly and criminal behaviour. The crime occurs when a group combines to the alarm of the public "for an illegal purpose, or in order to carry out a legal purpose by illegal means, e.g. violence or intimidation".[1] This common purpose distinguishes it from a breach of the peace.
