Given the scale, violence and collective character of the riot and the substantial risk and actual damage to persons and property, the court adopted appellate guidance and recent comparable starting points to impose deterrent custodial sentences; possession of items capable of causing damage or used as weapons are aggravating and attract concurrent custody; however a young offender (D1, aged 16 at offence) suitable for a training centre should be sentenced to a training centre order rather than immediate imprisonment where rehabilitation in such a facility is appropriate.
