Some interesting questions John and I think that a simple "impose a curfew" will not get to the heart of the problem although it will scale the riots down a bit.

I believe that this violence is being co-ordinated and to stop it, the police will have to get hold of the ringleaders.

This means that they will have to use intelligence to entrap the people behind this. From what I've read they are keeping in touch via the internet (yes - probably on forums a bit like this one) and by mobile phone.

As the arrest of the failed London bomber in Italy demonstrated, the police have now have access to an enormous amount of technology and I imagine that this will be used in the hunt for the leaders.

I'm sure that anyone reading this who has experience in the forces or in the police will agree that there will be far fewer 'brave heros' once the leaders have been taken out.
