Brixton riots

Brixton was the scene of disorder in April 1981 and September 1985. The Brixton riot of April 11, 1981 was one of the most serious Riots in London, UK, of the 20th century The Brixton riot (sometimes known as 'uprising' of 1985 started on 28 September in Brixton in South London. Following migration from the West Indies in the 1950s (and later mix of other ethnic minorities), Brixton encompassed a (relatively) large number of ethnic minorities as compared with other parts of England. The context for the 1981 uprising was the "stop-and-search" policies under the 'sus law', whereby young black men were stopped and searched by the police without any reason being given. In Britain, the Sus law was the informal name for a stop-and-search law that permitted a police officer to act on suspicion or 'sus' alone This led to a feeling of oppression amongst some residents of the area. Following the 1981 uprising, the Government appointed Lord Scarman under the auspices of a Royal Commission to report[1] upon the effects of the current law. Leslie George Scarman Baron Scarman, OBE, PC ( 29 July 1911 &ndash 8 December 2004) was an English Judge Lord Scarman's report acknowledged the disproportionate effect that the law was having on young black youth. The report made a number of recommendations, which resulted in the police having to give reasons – to the person - for any stop and searches that they undertook. The 1985 uprising followed a police shooting of a black woman, Cherry Groce, after the police entered her house looking for someone else. Although the Brixton area subsequently saw pioneering community policing initiatives, the continued death of young black men in police custody (and in one case the death of a man pointing a fake gun at people) coupled with general distrust of the police led to smaller scale protests through the 1990s (see Brixton riot (1995)). Community policing or neighbourhood policing is a policing strategy and philosophy based on the notion that community interaction and support can help control The Brixton riots of 1995 began on December 13 after the death of black 26 year old Wayne Douglas, in police custody

After the riots in 1981 a series of murals was funded by the council, although there is no evidence to show that colourfully painted walls have any direct correlation to the level of violence within a community. The Brixton murals are a series of Murals by local artists in the Brixton area in London, UK.
