Uk Riots 2011

In regards to the safety of children, a solution needs to be implemented immediately, not only because we are obliged to do so, but because it is the right thing to do. The compulsory and prolonged detention causes severe damage to children’s wellbeing and abuses international human rights treaties such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This injustice needs to end now. We need to emphasise the human side of the story. Who are the people we have locked up in detention? Babies, unaccompanied young children and teenagers, parents who have lost children and children who have lost parents. These are all human beings. Detention of children is not an option. Children are entitled to their basic needs, including: their right to enjoy the

0n the 11th of December 2010 tensions grew between two communities. What started out as a brawl fight between two teenage groups with different views ended with a deadly set of attacks destroying the social cohesion of our country. These attacks were the acts of cowards and the Australian public shouldn’t in any way be supportive of something that completely disagrees with the safety of our people. Were these acts right? Did hundreds of people need to be injured? The answer to both these questions are NO. So how did this event that stunned the nation start? Well the cronulla riots weren’t planned and meetings weren’t held for it, however a text message outlining the hatred felt towards the Lebanese community was sent. The message contained phrases such as “lets show these wogs this is our beach and they aren’t welcome

Criminology is focused on the attempt to understand the meanings involved in social interaction. Theorists have tried to explain sociological behaviour by looking at the patterns created by individuals that commit crime. The August 2011 riots are pivotal in explaining criminological behaviour since official statistics show that 865 individuals were put in prison by the 9th September 2011 for offences related to the disorder between 6th and 9th August 2011. This is not to say that others were not involved, but that they have simply not been identified to date and may never be identified, however the evidence we do have about the recent riots gives us plenty to talk about. This essay will

Trepidations pertaining to young people, being unable to fulfil their educational goals, being involved in antisocial activities, expelled from mainstream schools because of truancy and other disruptive transgressions or out of work, reinforce the obligation to the end child poverty ingenuity implemented by the Coalition Government in 1999. Equally, in their manifesto, the Conservatives avowed to enhance the emphasis on assisting families and vulnerable young people. Subsequently, this is trailed by the government’s enactment of pertinent policies to try and refine the life probabilities of young people who have numerous concerns. Likewise, this has prompted the invention of more initiatives, including the advent of the targeted youth programs.

The Haymarket Square Riot was on May 4, 1886. It was organized by labor radicals to protest the killings by the Chicago police during a strike the day before at the McCormick Reaper Works. The workers on strike that day demanded 8- hour work day when 60 hour weeks were very common at the time. The company locked out the workers and hired people to break the strike, which was common at the time. Two days later on May 3, a protest was held outside the McCormick Plant resulted in one death and more wounded.

Young people have been a main focus in society. Since 1960 there has been an increase in youth crime which is the reason as to why there are major adult concerns (Newburn, 2013). “Government became more harsh and intrusive in dealing with young people who were seen to be a problem” (France, 2007, pg.19). Older generations perceive young people as having less morals and respect in comparison to what they did at their age (Newburn, 2013). In particular, society views the youth of today as troublemakers, lazy, untrustworthy and unreliable. There are different theories that provide an explanation between involvement in offending and different factors such as family factors and wider social factors which will be discussed below.

On August 9th 2014, an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A day following Brown’ s death, a riot broke out in Ferguson which caught the attention of the entire country. The fact that black people suffers disproportionally from police violence isn’ t uncommon given that deadly use of force by the police towards blacks under 21 years of age is 20% compared to 8.7% to whites (Johnson et al., 2014). Perhaps what is surprising is the speed of organization and the intensity of young people in Ferguson to use the death of Michael Brown as a final straw in the injustice and racism blacks suffers to this day. For this paper, I shall analyze the Ferguson riot under the #BlackLivesMatter

Protests riots in the United States has proven to an issue for both the country’s financial strength and the unity of the nation. With the presence of social injustices, combined with the increased impact of social media propaganda, protests riots are beginning to reach an all time high. Protest riots destroy individual communities and businesses, jeopardizes the safety of others and taints the protest’s cause by resorting to civil disobedience. Action must be done in order to prevent these random acts of violence from continuing after every social hot topic. The goal is not to prevent citizens from protesting; in fact, this should be encouraged. The goal is to change the way the protests are handled from both the citizens and authority perspectives, in order to prevent these protests from escalating into something dangerous.

When people think of the 1980’s the first thoughts that many have in mind is that of music, movies, and technology that has helped shaped the present. Unfortunately, just like this longing for the 1980’s as something remarkable is limited to those that did not have to struggle through the AIDS epidemic or those that did not had to watch their friends, family, or loved ones die. The LGBTQ+ community faced struggles once it became apparent that AIDS was killing people, which runs counter to the ideology that the 1980's were full of nostalgia.

The Los Angeles Riots of 1992 caused an uproar in the United States due to all the violence, and “cost the state of California over a billion dollars in damage” (history.com). The Riots were caused by a video that was leaked to the public of a black man that was assaulted by LAPD officers. Chaos raged on the streets of Los Angeles for a total of three days until the President of the United States stepped in to bring some order back to the city.

This example clearly serves to demonstrate that fears of out of control youth if policing is relaxed are at best exaggerated and at worst both counter-intuitive and counter-productive. In the specifics of this case, the over-controlling policy had exactly the opposite of the desired effect, and removal of the policy was all that was required to achieve it's original intent. While not a suggestion that no control or relaxed control is a solution in all cases, it does serve to prove that there are instances where allowing youth a chance for self-empowerment rather than stripping away their dignity by overly controlling them will have positive social results.

I am extremely interested in the ways that social order is ‘produced’ by society and have decided as a consequence to study the ways that the Riots of 2011 were portrayed in the media.

Gandhi has changed the world violence protest, a good way we can change the world is by helping the homeless, stopping bad drugs, and also recycling.

In reviewing both articles in detail, there are clearly a multitude of differences between them. As such, the one that stood above all others, was the level of in depth analysis. When it comes to the scholarly article (Evan Smith ,published in Journal for cultural research, 2013), there was a long in depth quantification of the entire topic, he mentions the social aspects of riot psychology, also how simple protests can turn into full blown riots and even including social media and how it made things worst (via Blackberry cell phones). As compared to, The Economist media article (May 2, 2015, writer anonymous), which gives the general feeling that the writer is attempting to sum up events, in a timely and very concise way. This can be seen by the fact that no more than a paragraph was spent on a single subject of the piece. By doing this they attempt to keep the
