Tottenham riots: Data journalists and social scientists should join forces
Interpretations of riots reek with racial and class prejudice. I remember the riots in the 1960’s as well as more recent ones. The interpretations that followed could be predicted based on what channel or commentator was on the TV.
Topic maps are well suited to bring up parallel events from history, along with calmer analysis.
I wonder if anyone would bother to read such a topic map? Or, like the various economic bubbles that keep repeating themselves, would they say “this time is different.”
