I believe the police will have to do some soul searching here too.
In particular, the killing of the Jean Charles Menezes, and the way some members of the police force managed to get off scot free with the death of Ian Tomlinson means that the "me first" culture must stop with the police force as well.
There are rotten eggs in all sections of the society, and the arrest of people with stable jobs amongst the rioters proves this.
Of course this doesn't justify the rioting and looting which we have seen in London. Most of which smacks of opportunistic hooliganism.
However, I subscribe to the tenet that good example must come from the top, and it is this type of good example that has been found wanting leading up to the riots.
