	Handsworth riots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two Handsworth riots occurred in the Handsworth suburb of Birmingham, England, during the summers of 1981 and 1985.
		The riots were allegedly caused by heavy-handed policing and drug-related problems in this inner city suburb, fueled by a nationwide wave of uprisings in the wake of the April 1981 Brixton riot.
		The riots were reportedly sparked by the arrest of a man near the Acapulco Cafe, Lozells and a police raid on the Villa Cross public house in the same area.

	Toxteth riots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Toxteth riots of July 1981 were a civil disturbance in inner-city Liverpool, which arose in part from long-standing tensions between the local police and the fl community.
		Over the weekend that followed, disturbance erupted into full-scale rioting, with pitched battles between police and youths in which petrol bombs and paving stones were thrown, and the police employed CS gas for the first time in mainland Britain.
		The riots, like those around the same time in Brixton, Handsworth, and those in 1980 in Bristol, were generally seen as "race riots", but there are many reports of similarly frustrated white youths travelling in from other areas of Liverpool to fight alongside Toxteth residents against the police

	Brixton riot (1981) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brixton riot of April 11, 1981 was the most serious riot in London, England, of the 20th century.
		The riot resulted in almost 300 police injuries and 65 serious civilian injuries; over a hundred vehicles were burned, including 56 police vehicles; almost 150 buildings were damaged, with thirty burned.
		The riots inspired the Eddy Grant song, "Electric Avenue." The Clash also made a song about Brixton, "The Guns of Brixton." This song precedes the actual riots of 1981 (The album was released in 1979), but it shows the general feeling of discontent in the area.

	Race riot
		A race riot or racial riot is an outbreak of violent civil unrest in which race is a key factor.
		Such riots often reflect anger among racial minority groups that are regarded as socio-economically deprived, and often such anger is directed at law enforcement agencies who are perceived to unfairly target these racial groups.
		Racial profiling, police brutality, institutional racism, urban renewal, and racial identity politics are often cited as causes of these riots, although many have argued that these riots tend not to follow any sort of political logic but rather represent spontaneous violent outbursts.
