A report leaked yesterday into last summer's UK riots listed poor parenting among the many and complex causes of the outbreak of social disorder. The report by the Riots, Communities and Victims Panel said a lack of confidence in police, materialism and an inability to prevent re-offending were behind the riots. It also cited the plight of long-term unemployed young people and schools turning out illiterate pupils. "We heard from many communities who felt that rioter behaviour could ultimately be ascribed to poor parenting" the report said.
