The problem is socialism
Given that the rioters are mainly feral teenage boys. These kids are deprived of a decent education because schools are run and controlled for the benefit of those in power and secondly for the benefit of those who work in them. they are not incentivised to run them for the benefit of the kids themselves. These boys are deprived of sport, in particular team games (rugby for example is a metaphor for how socialism should work). They are deprived of jobs because socialists set themselves up to undermine any sort of enterprise culture. Even initiatives such as the minimum wage ensures that many young boys are kept out of work.
The first vicious circle is that their parents and single mothers are likewise products of the state system that encourages worklessness and benefit dependency.
These kids are the product of the state and its warped sense of how it wishes to engineer (rather than serve) society. The state steals, cons and wastes vast amounts of money from the enterprising wealth creators in society creating the other vicious circle of state dependency, poor education and joblessness.
These young boys have nothing whatsoever to gain by engaging with the syste. This has been their opportunity to display their bitter resentment.
Of course the socialists will argue that the gap between rich and poor is causing the problem. They are of course right but not in the way they think. The rich have got where they are quite fine by themselves whereas the poor are still poor because they have been so badly let down by the state and its inefficient monopolistic institutions. The left wants the rich to become poor because that is the only way that they can enjoy any sort of credibility.
