In the surveillance of public areas, human groups should be the major targets monitored because of their highly sociable character. In groups, the behavior of individuals usually depends on that of others. Hence, group behavior can explain a large number of phenomena, including overcrowding, chaos, stampedes (as a result of a terrorist attack such as a bomb explosion), fights, and riots.
