Abstract
Riots broke out in London on 6th August 2011. Many narratives of the riots describe them as having subsequently intensified within and spread across various parts of the city during the following 4 days and nights before finally petering out. This article addresses two important empirical puzzles stemming from the riots. First, we ask whether the riot events did indeed display distinct spatial patterns and, if so, whether these events spread between locations. Second, we discuss how knowledge of the spatial distribution of these events could influence future analytical research on the topic and how, in turn, this work could inform crime reduction strategies for events of this type.
