IMO Machiavelli's The Prince comes to mind. These types, or at least their leaders (of which I think there are many, maybe not leaders but genuine activits) are A-Class dissemblers and should be treated not with the velvet glove but with the fist inside. I do not think that arrests will do any good, it has been said before that these people only understand force, much like the Soviets.
The danger, as Bard E. O'Neill pointed out, is that in the retributionary operations there is collateral damage to 'innocent' civilians. This will often cause the cancer to spread, as opposed to isolating and destroying it.
Therefore, it seems prudent that before any operations are undertaken, a full assessment is performed on the population so that only those genuinely guilty are attacked. However, an accurate assessment may be difficult to compile. Perhaps the best option is to wait for/ trigger another riot and then use lethal force?
