UK ‘riot’ culture: What does research say?

The rioting that broke out in London on the 6th August 2011, and then spread to other parts of the UK over the following week, saw extraordinary levels of crime, looting, and rioting for the UK.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has said that action will be taken to restore order, but in the long-term questions about the power of police, the role of gangs in society, and the socio-economic impetuses behind the disorder all need to be taken into account. The public perception of the UK as a safe society has changed dramatically.
Research from Routledge explores these issues further. The articles are all FREE to access for a limited time
