England riots: where it happened and where suspects fine | Associated With

Rioters commute in for looting? It is a theory being investigated by police and politicians. And as hundreds of suspected looters are pushed through the magistrates courts, what information it tells us about how the events of the last nights in early August exploded?

An analysis of one day of hearings by he the BBC last week found 70% of these are accused of riot-related crimes had travelled from outside their territory. Communities Secretary Eric Pickles has called it "riot tourism", and it is a part of the argument used by those who wish to withdraw the benefits and Council housing from those accused of riots, even in a different town.

Also said Housing Minister Grant shapps :

If a person has completed these riots, then circumstance have you committed it in direct neighborhood or elsewhere should be countable

We have analyzed over 300 entries of people on riot-related charges English magistrates courts to see how people are fine and where the riots took place. The maps above Show-for the big events that took place in August 2011-the power in each city.

This is not a complete record and is of the alleged cases, some not pleaded guilty. The other caveat is that it does not show what event each of the suspects are alleged to be a part of. But it shows how people were arrested and charged in the days after the riots came from everywhere in the cities affected.

The effect is particularly pronounced in Manchester, where suspects have been in court from the suburbs to the city. In Londonis there a similar effect, although it seems to show people traveled, but not so much.

It tells us something-what do you think?
