Introduction to Case Studies
This second section presents four case studies of riots: one from France, one from the United Kingdom and two from the United States of America. All four case studies are based on controversial violent public disorder events that occurred over a number of days, involved a large number of violent individuals, an extensive amount of vandalism and the looting of businesses. They were also triggered by one flashpoint event: the actions of the police. The French and the United Kingdom case studies each include a section on the background and the context of the rioting in their respective countries, and this forms the foundation for the discussion of the riot and the police response. The background and context for the two riots in the United States of America are described subsequently to this introduction. The case study section presents a study of the 2005 riots that took place in France, followed by an examination of the riots that took place in London in 2011. The two riots that took place in the United States of America are then presented starting with the 2014 Ferguson, Missouri, riots followed by the 2015 Baltimore riots.
