Impoverishing those simply associated with those involved in the rioting is even more destructive, especially if it's done to the point of destitution.

Excellent. Throw money at a problem, that will work well.

It promotes responsibility. If you know you, or a member of your family is committing criminal acts and as a result you will be forced to leave the area and your friends it would focus you on not committing crime.
The estate I worked on for a number of years did this for drug dealers and persistent anti-social tennents a few years back and it worked wonders.

What about the parent who walked the youngster to court by force - will she be evicted ?

It's happened before and it'll happen again. If this happens to a number of the rioters I can see this becoming more commonplace for other times.

Two antisocial tenants are being evicted as part of Renfrewshire Council's continuing campaign to drive out drug dealers and bad neighbours.
