A riot is a form of civil disorder characterized often by what is thought of as disorganized groups lashing out in a sudden and intense rash of violence against authority, property or people.

However, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that riots are not irrational, herd-like behavior, but follow inverted social norms.
