I would not walk in any deprived areas at night without hesitation. Poverty breeds crime, not colour or race.
I read from many places, the latest being the History of Britain Documentry series on the BBC. But History books also confirm these events

The actual riot was unplanned, almost spontaneous. On the evening of the 10th, at around 5.15pm, a black youth with a knife wound was stopped by a police patrol. As he was being escorted by two police officers along Railton Road towards a waiting vehicle a large crowd intervened. The police were attacked and the struggle only ended when more police officers arrived; the youth was taken to hospital
