Rioters have brought violence and disorder to our streets over the last week - but many are now being humbled as they face Britain's justice system. Police have made more than 400 arrests over the riots which have been fuelled by the killing of three young girls in a horrifying stabbing rampage in Southport last Monday. Civil unrest first erupted outside a mosque in Southport over misinformation online that the teenage suspect was a Muslim aslyum seeker who had arrived in the UK on a small boat. Since then, riots have spread across other parts of the country, with far-right thugs seen launching bricks at officers, torching police cars and targeting hotels housing asylum seekers. Sir Keir Starmer has warned that rioters will face the 'full force of the law' and many are facing justice this week as the government fast-tracks cases thorough the courts to send a message. MailOnline's interactive map reveals how many protesters have been charged and where they committed their offences.

Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson has said thugs could face terrorism charges as the legal system fights to bring offenders to justice. It comes amid fears of six more rallies hitting the country's streets tonight, with police anticipating a busy day on Wednesday as they monitor reports of at least 30 possible gatherings. Far-right thugs are now plotting attacks on immigration lawyers, with a list of 36 solicitors' firms, refugee shelters and advice agencies shared on a Telegram group with more than 14,000 alongside a call to attack them at a specific time tomorrow night.

Jordan Parlour, a 28-year-old sign installer described by his lawyer as a 'family man', is the first man to be charged over Facebook posts relating to the violent disorder across the UK. Parlour - who was unable to take to the streets for violence because he had broken his heel - instead turned to social media to incite protesters to target the Britannia Hotel in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The hotel, in the Seacroft area of the city and close to Parlour's home, had been attacked with rocks and a window had been broken - though it was not the scene of mass violence.

Joe MacKenzie, a 28-year-old from Darlington who works for his father's kitchen fitting business, dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief as he was told he would be remanded in custody for his alleged part in Sunday's rioting in Middlesbrough. MacKenzie is accused of being among around 20 men wearing balaclavas and face coverings who clashed with police. Magistrates in Teesside heard he yelled 'We are taking over, I f***ing hate you c***s' at police while swigging from a can of lager.

Neil Basu (left) said thugs who tried to burn down a Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham while people were inside should be facing life in jail 'not a five-year sentence for violent disorder'. He said the shocking incident on Sunday was an example of a serious act of violence that was 'designed to cause terror' and 'people should look very carefully' at the legal definition of terrorism. Six people will today appear in court today charged over the Rotherham hotel attack, as ministers promised hundreds of extra prison spaces and said a 'standing army' of 6,000 specialist police officers were at the ready.
