Dr. Nicole Jackson had an article published in African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.  Her article, “‘A nigger in the new England’: ‘Sus’, the Brixton riot, and citizenship” appeared in the most recent volume, available for download here. From her abstract, “This paper situates the Brixton riot within the context of Section IV of the 1824 Vagrancy Act, which shaped the lives of Black youth in the 1970s and early 1980s, and demonstrates the level to which Black people were historically marginalized in English society in the post-World War II period.”
