Brixton Riots

....

Looters moved in as flames spread

..

At 8pm on Saturday night Brixton was burning. A pillar of smoke, hundreds of feet across, rose into the darkening sky; its base was tinged with red from the fires in Railton Road.
Further north more smoke climbed from the blazing buildings in Brixton centre

....Picture gallery: Brixton riots ......

Police hurt in scuffles with blacks

Scores of officers were drafted in from all over south London and seven youths were arrested

......

Mr Whitelaw expected to announce inquiry today

Tension remained high last night as running battles developed between police and black youths

......

Background

.... ....

'Suspected persons' powers need not lead to excessive police use

In 1977, 1,042 people, 44 per cent of those arrested for 'sus', were of Afro-Carribbean appearance

....'Sus' law reform gives cause for alarm, study says .......... ....

Polls show low confidence in police

Thirty-eight per cent of those questioned felt that the police were too harsh on suspicious behaviour

..

Letters: Lessons to be learnt from Bristol riot

'Constant harassment of immigrant communities has led to a mutual suspicion, mistrust and now the hostility that many of us feared'

Overcrowded Brixton

Young blacks were two to three times more likely to be unemployed

....Echoes of America's long hot summers ........

Brixton streets boil for the fourth night

Rioters took to the streets of Brixton yet again last night, to the despair of a community already drained by three nights of violence

..

Vicar speaks despairingly of his strife-torn parish

If you mention community relations to the ordinary policeman he either falls about laughing or starts cursing

The tension eases but police still patrol in pairs

Local community leaders are hoping that the weekend will be trouble-free after last weekend's rioting

Who pays for the riots?

There is a widespread sense of resentment by young people, both black and white, at police brusqueness and unnecessary machismo

...... ......

Inquest on Brixton

The scale of the violence requires the Government to show evidence of its concern.
There must be action

........

Scarman Inquiry

.... ....

Lord Scarman: Brixton Inquiry

The Home Secretary has directed that Lord Scarman hold an Inquiry under section 32 of the Police Act 1964

..

The judge, the blacks and the police

Two reporters, David Nicholson-Lord of The Times and John Clare, the BBC's correspondent, have told Lord Scarman that they saw the police use unauthorised weapons

What makes this judge the one to sort out the mess

Often referred to as a 'left wing' judge; taking it as a relative term and comparing Scarman to the rest of the judiciary, there is some truth in it

....Brixton inquiry: Scarman changes the hearts of blacks ........Lord Scarman braves the front line ....

Scarman on Brixton: The key passages

Lord Scarman tempers criticisms of general policing methods with warm support for the way the Metropolitan Police handled the rioting

....

letters

.... ....

Brixton riots: The ethnic factors

Before the fires were out community relations officers were attributing the violence to such speculative causes as resentment and frustration

..

Police burden in atmosphere of mistrust

There is a widespread sense of resentment by young people, both black and white, at police brusqueness and unnecessary machismo

Implications of inner-city rioting

The Times could make a small but significant contribution to better race relations if it stopped referring to all black people as 'immigrants'
