Some conclusions from the "Government paper on group-based child sexual exploitation."
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/priti-patel-publishes-paper-on-group-based-child-sexual-exploitation
'The paper summarises studies which suggest individuals committing group-based child sexual exploitation are predominantly, but not exclusively, male and often under the age of 30. '
'Some studies have indicated an over-representation of Asian and Black offenders. However, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the ethnicity of offenders as existing research is limited and data collection is poor.'
'The lack of robust data on ethnicity and other factors is disappointing, however community and cultural factors are clearly relevant to understanding and tackling offending, and an approach to deterring, disrupting, and preventing offending tailored to the communities in which it occurs is needed.'
Just a tad disingenuous one suspects!
