Examines the issues which are fundamental to an understanding of
contemporary urban unrest: racial discrimination and
disadvantage, unemployment, social deprivation, policing
practices and political powerlessness. Considers how the British
disorders of the 1980s should be placed in an historical and
comparative framework. Explores what action has been taken in
Britain since the riots of 1981, what needs to be done to remove
the current causes of unrest and looks at what the prospects are
for the future. Bibliography.
