Also included are two copies of Webster Scope, a report that interprets the riots and their cumulative effects primarily through graphs, charts, statistics, and figures, and several research memoranda that discuss the legality of several riot-response tactics. PART OF SUBSERIES: The final copy of a report produced by the Webster Commission's LAPD Team, which assesses the Department's preparedness to handle a major civil disturbance and the adequacy of its response to the 1992 riots.
