Synopsis:In "Policing the Riots", academics, politicians and representatives of the police force comment on the 'riots' in Britain in 1981 and take issue with the related Scarman Report. It is argued that the riots were not simply a product of unemployment, but the desperate reaction of politically impotent communities that had been economically jettisoned.
