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".〔(Index of legal terms and offences libelled - The National Archives of Scotland )〕 This common purpose distinguishes it from a breach of the peace. Mob In HM Advocate v Robertson (1842) 1 Broun 152, at 192 to 193, Hope L.J.-C. said in his direction to the jury: He went on to say: These passages were approved by the High Court, as an accurate statement of the law, in Hancock and others v HM Advocate 1981 SCCR 32. Compensation for riot damage See (section 10 ) of the Riotous Assemblies (Scotland) Act 1822 and (section 235 ) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mobbing (Scots law)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
