What caused the London riots in 2011?

People in Tottenham maintain that there were a vast array of social issues that led to the riots in 2011, rather than just mindless violence by an apathetic youth.

Chloe Tilley has been speaking to Marcus Knox-Hooke, Mark Duggan's best friend, George Amponsah, who has made a documentary on the riots, Jude Lanchin, the lawyer who represented many who took part in the disturbance, and Oxford law graduate Fahim Alam, who was falsely accused of violent disorder during the riots.
