August 2011 saw the most serious bout of civil unrest in a generation. City centers across England became battlegrounds as four consecutive nights of looting and arson left five people dead, countless premises vandalized, and more than 4,000 suspects arrested. In the aftermath, questions were raised in the newspapers and in Parliament. Who were these people running wild? What had caused them to behave in this way? And how can we make sure it never happens again? Reading the Riots is the first serious attempt to answer these questions in a rigorous and evidence-based manner. Drawing on the results of a groundbreaking research study, cofunded by the Guardian and the LSE, it will examine the root causes of the unrest and present coherent suggestions for future steps. Includes detailed analysis of the more than 2.5 million Twitter messages that were sent during the rioting Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Reading the Riots (Paul Lewis, Tim Newburn)
