Black riots in Britain

The summer 2011 riots in England were largely a black phenomenon. Black people were heavily overrepresented in all riots but one (Salford, 1.7% of arrests). Over 50% arrested were black in all London riots (up to 82% black, 10% white in Lambeth). All but two London areas (both central) with above average black population rioted. Poor and uneducated non-black areas did not riot or had small riots. Older black people are more likely to riot than whites of any age, including youths. Whites aged 10-17 are not overrepresented, blacks aged 10-17 are heavily overrepresented. Black Londoners are 2.87 times as likely to be unemployed as whites, but 9.65 times more likely to riot.
