England riots: What happened to the rioters in court?
More than 2,770 people have been arrested in connection with the riots in towns and cities around England last week. So far 1,277 suspects have appeared in court - most of them in London.
The Ministry of Justice has released some statistics based on those who had appeared in court up to midday 15 August.
More details are beginning to emerge of who the rioters were and what happened to them in court. The graphic below is based on information provided by Greater Manchester Police and City of Manchester magistrates' court.
Manchester's figures suggest a slightly higher proportion of under-18s have been arrested in the city - 25% - compared to the national average of 21%. The number of those remanded in custody is also slightly higher.
In Croydon, there were far fewer under-18s involved than there were nationally, but more women have been arrested. The graphic below is based on information supplied by Croydon magistrates. Full details of the court decisions are not yet available.
