重點整理:

前言

•       Inspiration: loot/riot. Policy response. Backgrounds. Connection

•       Phase 1: 3 months, rioters此一前階段為期三個月,主要是英國倫敦暴動的參與者

•       Phase 2: next year, 未來的研究包含訪問including lawyers. Judges. Prosecutors. Court officials…

•       研究者好奇的是:如何得知暴動的發生、為什麼他們會想參加、彼此之間是如何聯絡的?

Major themes

•       The  aim was to examine the attitudes and experiences of the those involved in the riots.

•       歸納出五種參加暴動的動機Such as: injustice, riot motivation, police, community, the role of social media

Policing & Gang

•       Dissatisfaction with the police對於英國現狀警政的不滿

•       Economic opportunity for “Gang” 

Inequality

•       For some it’s economic, for others it’s social. 不完全是經濟因素,只有一半左右的人是失業,社會因素也很重要

•       A little more than half are unemployed

Injustice and Inequality.

•       Young people mention lack of opportunities, felt socially disadvantaged and peripheral.讓年輕人失去希望

Social Media

•       Widespread availability of social media and mobile phone technology.社交媒體的便利性與手機的科技使用

•       Some commentator raise significant concern about role of Twitter, FB and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). 主要是社群媒體對於暴動的組織與擴散層面

•       BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and TV. 本文提出不同觀點,來看BBM、Twitter跟電視在這次暴動中不同的腳色、功能、以及重要性

BlackBerry Messenger

•       The first disturbance in Tottenham on Sat.

•       Efficient and Secure communication network.便宜、有效而安全,門檻相對低了許多

•       While government debated whether to shut down FB and Twitter, BBM play a substantive role in the riot.持續地、而有效地散布資訊,包含沒有使用FB、Twitter的人都可以收到。

•       It’s easier than FB and Twitter.

Twitter

•       Playing a different role, Tweets support and incite the riots.由於twitter可以放較多文字,民眾可以知道現場情況,讓暴動受到更多支持

•       Several politicians suggested the network should be shut down, but the response to the tweets was overwhelming negative.

•       Organise community clean-up operations集體以刪文抵抗,造成部分資料流失

TV

•       傳統媒體中,電視扮演事件的重要角色

•       100/270 referred to hearing about riot via TV.

•       Somebody referred that TV news had encouraged them to get involved especially outside London.電視畫面讓民眾更有接近感,更容易投入暴動中

What’s Next   未來研究的第二階段

•       Will look at the riots impact on local media, and at the criminal justice response to the disturbance.

•       Community debates and discussions on local media.研究在地媒體的討論,來了解社區如何被影響

•       Policing and court working.警方的訪問對象分兩部分:第一線與指揮階級。看警方內部的決策過程,以及前線如何溝通部署,來了解暴動發生時警方的動員情形。法庭的訪問則是針對當時大量的人(2000)遭到逮捕與起訴,600多人有罪,300多人遭監禁,希望透過訪談來了解當時法庭上如何處理爆量的問題,是否有特殊性。
