'The Short Hot Summer': The August Riots in the UK, 2011

This talk was given in 2011, based on early studies of data, but the analysis has now been borne out by figures from the government itself. The August 'riots' in Britain last summer were portrayed by the media and politicians as the actions of 'greedy feral youth' or 'gangs' within a 'criminal underclass'. Most of these politically loaded explanations were presented before what had happened was even known. Using hard research and the voices of participants, this event will provide an analysis of the 'riots' of August, considering what (actually) happened, who was involved and how they did it. This approach is complimented by a critique of the content and use of government statistics and the representation of the disturbances in the media and mainstream politics.
