The main reason they haven't flared up again IMO is it was widely broadcast that taking part meant jail. No community service, no pointless fine, no suspended sentence but a good long spell inside.
If the current sentencing policy for riots reverts back to jail being the exception then expect far more outbreaks of disorder in the coming months and years.

She didn't take part in the looting or the riots. She accepted an item of clothing which she knew had been stolen in the riots by someone else. Still against the law but not worthy of 5 months inside a Prison cell.
