Remember this!
Mutiny and riot are both forms of collective action that involve a group of people acting together. However, the difference between mutiny and riot is their participants, intensity, purpose, location, and response. Mutiny is usually carried out by members of a specific group, such as military personnel, and is motivated by a desire for change within that organization. Riot, on the other hand, can involve anyone in a given area and is often a response to a variety of issues or grievances, resulting in more intense and violent behavior.
