7 of the 10 most deprived areas in England have witnessed riots in the past 10 days.
12 out of the 23 local authorities where violence erupted are in the top decile for deprivation, suggesting a relationship between pockets of poverty and unrest

“These are often communities that are already socio-economically deprived, and have high unemployment, which can contribute to a sense that there is competition for scant resources,” said Rob McNeil, deputy director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford.
