The Toxteth riots: A select bibliography

Conclusion A significant amount of time and effort has been given to describing the causes and effects of the riots. Little has however been done to interview the people who took part, whether rioters or police, or members of the government, or local groups. The effectiveness of ameliorative measures such as training centres, the opening of the Liverpool 8 Law Centre, and the liaison forums remains to be investigated. There is perhaps also room in the market for a simple narrative of the events.
