The Riots:
Another issue you could look at instead of one of the above is the riots - rather than just looking at how the event was covered, you could explore the issue of what caused them or who's to blame (feral youths or oppressive social conditions? The police or Tory or labour politics?) Or is youth violence just a myth perpetuated by the media portrayal of the hoodie - what other texts reinforce this link? Do statistics back this image up?

Any answer on this topic will need to weave this in to their answer/ conclusion.
