A report by HMICFRS highlights the British police’s failure to accurately assess rising violence and misinformation prior to the summer 2024 riots. Triggered by the murder of three girls in Southport, anti-immigration riots ensued in multiple cities, exacerbated by misinformation about the suspect. The report criticizes the police for a lack of response to prior indicators of extreme nationalist sentiments and recommends improved information gathering to prevent future violence.
