London riots

Tottenham MP David Lammy says restrictions on parents smacking their children were partly responsible for last summer's riots. MP Harriett Baldwin and columnist Laurie Penny debate the issue.

With austerity looming, pension strikes back on the agenda and youth unemployment on the rise, is intergenerational conflict inevitable? Channel 4 News hears from both sides.

A police watchdog investigator admits a "mistake" was made in releasing information suggesting Mark Duggan fired on officers before he was killed.

Two Metropolitan Police officers are on restricted duties following developments in the Mark Duggan shooting inquiry. The shooting led to the outbreak of rioting in north London over the summer.

Defendants, including two men jailed for inciting rioting via Facebook, face appeal court judges in a bid to overturn their sentences following the summer disturbances.

Many of the people who have appeared in court in connection with last month's riots have never been sent to jail before despite multiple previous convictions, new figures show.

Jailed rioters are being targeted by existing inmates because prison conditions have been made worse by the influx of prisoners following last month's civil unrest, Channel 4 News has learned.

Not one, but four officers involved in the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, an incident which sparked the London riots last month, are under investigation, Channel 4 News understands.

Riots which swept across England in August were the result of a "broken penal system" which failed to stop a "feral underclass" from reoffending, says Justice Secretary Ken Clarke.
