An interesting article in the Guardians datablog:

They looked at a claim by David Cameron that “These riots were not about poverty”. They mapped where accused “rioters” lived and looked at IMD scores. They found that the majority of areas where suspects live are deprived, and that 41% of suspects live in the 10% most deprived places in England. It’s always interesting to see data mapped.
