Analysis Of The 2011 Riots

Australia claims to be an egalitarian land of equal opportunity; however, the documentary Cronulla Riots suggests that it is not applicable to all of its citizens. Especially for those Muslim Australians who lived 26km away from South of Sydney CBD during 11th Dec. 2005 – 15th Dec. 2005.

Through the past centuries many acts of rebellion have occurred. However not many have had such an impact compared to the L.A. riots of May of 1992.

Criminology is focused on the attempt to understand the meanings involved in social interaction. Theorists have tried to explain sociological behaviour by looking at the patterns created by individuals that commit crime. The August 2011 riots are pivotal in explaining criminological behaviour since official statistics show that 865 individuals were put in prison by the 9th September 2011 for offences related to the disorder between 6th and 9th August 2011. This is not to say that others were not involved, but that they have simply not been identified to date and may never be identified, however the evidence we do have about the recent riots gives us plenty to talk about. This essay will

The Haymarket Square Riot was on May 4, 1886. It was organized by labor radicals to protest the killings by the Chicago police during a strike the day before at the McCormick Reaper Works. The workers on strike that day demanded 8- hour work day when 60 hour weeks were very common at the time. The company locked out the workers and hired people to break the strike, which was common at the time. Two days later on May 3, a protest was held outside the McCormick Plant resulted in one death and more wounded.

The New York City Riots riots mainly consisted of poor angry Irish men who did not like the idea of getting drafted for war. These men felt they were at the bottom of society and worked for everything they had. The New York City Riots were Mainly fueled by the Congress enforcing The Conscription Act of 1863. The riots were also extremely influenced by White lower class racism, governmental corruption and the conscription act of 1863.

The Hyde Park riots of 1866 were another example of working-class radicalism in protest for reform. Similarly to the Bristol Riots, the rebels were destructive by force and although there was said to be ‘more mischief than malice’, a policeman was killed. Both the Bristol and Hyde Park riots were successful as they were each followed by a reform the next year. I believe that the main reason for the Hyde Park riots’ victory was the unification of the National Reform Union and the Reform League, two distinctively divided (in class) bodies. This demonstrated that people of different classes and backgrounds were able to unify in common aims in ways which the political parties could not. Furthermore, this alliance could be seen as a step towards democratic reform as it began to

One thing is for sure, we'll never get over this hump if we continue referring to each other with negativity and hatred. Rodney King, a black man, being repeatedly beaten by a group of LAPD officers. At their criminal trial more than a year later, all four police officers were acquitted when the jury could not reach a verdict. This result sparked outrage about racism across the country, especially in South Central Los Angeles. Where large groups of blacks took to the streets, in what became known as the 1992 Los Angeles riots. was a construction dump truck driver. On the first day of the rioting, Denny was attacked by four men, pulled from his International Road Tractor and brutally beaten, sustaining serious head trauma and other injuries.

Rebenstein and Ziewaxz (2014) explain how Detroit has been rated as the world’s most miserable city. In 2012 Detroit suffered 411 homicides, which was higher than in 1974 when Detroit was designated as the murder capital of the United States (p. 340). What causes all of these horrible things to happen in a city? Can the blame be placed solely on one people group? Policemen? Politicians? Teachers? Economic decline? Determining the blame for the current plight of Detroit is a very complex question that cannot be given a simple answer. Similar to the discussion regarding who was to blame for the Detroit Riots, no one person or area can be blamed for the city’s history and current state. It is clear through the textbook readings that multiple factors

On August 9th 2014, an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A day following Brown’ s death, a riot broke out in Ferguson which caught the attention of the entire country. The fact that black people suffers disproportionally from police violence isn’ t uncommon given that deadly use of force by the police towards blacks under 21 years of age is 20% compared to 8.7% to whites (Johnson et al., 2014). Perhaps what is surprising is the speed of organization and the intensity of young people in Ferguson to use the death of Michael Brown as a final straw in the injustice and racism blacks suffers to this day. For this paper, I shall analyze the Ferguson riot under the #BlackLivesMatter

Protests riots in the United States has proven to an issue for both the country’s financial strength and the unity of the nation. With the presence of social injustices, combined with the increased impact of social media propaganda, protests riots are beginning to reach an all time high. Protest riots destroy individual communities and businesses, jeopardizes the safety of others and taints the protest’s cause by resorting to civil disobedience. Action must be done in order to prevent these random acts of violence from continuing after every social hot topic. The goal is not to prevent citizens from protesting; in fact, this should be encouraged. The goal is to change the way the protests are handled from both the citizens and authority perspectives, in order to prevent these protests from escalating into something dangerous.

Those topics interest me because something different than to know what is happening nowadays in repeats. Starting from April 8, 1968 where it marked the beginning and the end of the riots in DC, which it happened after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. These riots have changed many of the city's business, paths, buildings, neighborhoods, and its history forever. The big impact upon is U Street area, which where the history contain in DC’s northwest that received its name, where at that the time people were worrying about history. Like the H Street, the neighborhood’s identification agreed with a blueprint for an assassinated of residential projects and a retail makeover that would change the face of the area. Despite the transformation

The theories will explain why rioters committed the crimes did. The paper will take the actions of the protestors and explain why they did what they did.
