The report by Power to Change reveals that towns with recent rioting have suffered from significant economic deprivation and a deteriorating social fabric, indicating a deep-rooted community issue.
According to the findings, 23 out of the 27 locations that experienced disorder had social fabric scores well below the median, suggesting a strong correlation between social cohesion and community unrest.
Middlesbrough's low social fabric score illustrates how economic struggles and lack of community engagement can exacerbate tensions, leading to violence as seen in last summer’s riots.
The report emphasizes the need for strategic investments in community infrastructures such as meeting spaces, civic engagements, and local developmental projects to mitigate future unrest.
