What makes you say England did not have looting during WW2? England had more cohesion. But that is just one factor impacting people’s behavior. Someone who is desperate or immoral enough to loot in wartime is unlikely to be seriously swayed by the need for patriotic unity. Other factors, which I think are bigger, are severity of need and enforcement. Don’t know about enforcement, but it is very hard for me to envision a scenario where meeting basic needs is harder and than in WW2 Britain.
