摘要：A number of academic studies have sought to comparatively analyse the French riots of 2005with those that occurred in England in 2011, yet these have been limited in their scope and depth.In this article, we set out a more comprehensive analysis of the causes and underlying meaning ofthese episodes of collective disorder through a systematic application of the Flashpoints Modelof Public Disorder to each case. The argument identifies and considers points of overlap andtension between the various causal factors underpinning the respective riots, engaging withboth the background causes (long- and short-term) and the ‘triggering’ event that prompted alatent potential for violence to become manifest as rioting. In addition to providing an analyticalframework for the comparative study of these important episodes of rioting, the article constitutesa response to recent criticisms regarding the explanatory scope of the flashpoints model anddemonstrates the continued relevance of the model as a robust conceptual framework withinwhich the anatomy of collective disorder can be dissected and understood
