Discuss possible sociology explanations for the riots
The 2011 riots took place between 6th-10th of August, several cities and towns across England suffered riots and looting as thousands took the street. The violence from this was seen to be after the shooting of Mark Duggan. However, the thousands that took to the streets had their other reasons to be rioting, making people wonder what were the problems with the society we live in.
