Abstract
Literature in social movements has has addressed repression as a cost for those who mobilise. In this chapter I explore the other side of repression: the political costs that governments face when they engage in repressive behaviour. The political costs of repression dramatically change in different times, places and circumstances, and this text tries to make sense of the determinants of these costs. Then, I propose to understand the historical development of nonlethal protest policing techniques as a solution to the dilemma that democratic governments face: the need to control mass disruption and civil violence in a context of increasing costs of repression.
