What motivates men to get involved in rioting? In this live recording of The Uncommon Bloke Podcast, Calum and Dan discuss the recent UK riots following the murder of three young girls in Southport and fuelled by the misinformation that quickly spread online about the perpetrator. The conversation covers the typologies of rioters (i.e. professional, adventurer, revenge, and victim) and how aspects of masculinity are potentially linked to each one.
