On June 8 and 9, 2010, youth riots broke out in Rinkeby,[2] a suburb dominated by immigrant residents, in northern Stockholm, Sweden. Up to 100 youths threw bricks, set fires and attacked the local police station in Rinkeby.[1][3][4]

Rioting

The riot broke out late on the evening of 8 June when a group of young adults were refused admittance to a junior high school dance; angered, they responded by throwing rocks through the windows of the school. From there, the rioting spread.[5]

Rioters threw rocks at police, attacked a police station and burned down a school, throwing rocks at responding fire engines and preventing fire fighters from reaching the school in time to save the building.[6][7][5]

Social activist George Lakey describes the 2010 Rinkeby riots as the first riots by migrant youth in Sweden, followed by the 2013 Stockholm riots, which included violent rioting in Rinkeby, a Stockholm suburb.[8]

Background

Sociologist Peggy Levitt attributes the riots to anger over "long-term youth unemployment and poverty."[3]

Rinkeby is noted for its high concentration of immigrants and people with immigrant ancestry. 89.1% of the population of Rinkeby had a first- or second-generation immigrant background as of 31 December 2007.[9]
