But hey embrace the cultural differences

most of who?

The names in the latest article; at least of Pakistani origin, if not born there. Are you sure you're on the right thread?

[woohoo]

Local politicians, police and social services still have a lot to answer for as to how this went on for so long despite the evidence but there isn't clear evidence that child sexual offending as a whole is something that is disproportionate to certain ethnic groups. Maybe if we look at the evidence in another five to ten years, the picture will have changed.

What do we know about ethnicity of people involved in sexual offences against children

I doubt that the picture will change, as the article points out recording of ethnicity is patchy at best. Even if this did improve opponents would argue that unconscious bias was a problem with the reliability of the stats.

On top of this, it may be that in the wider population its more likely that abuse will be reported to the police rather than handled within the family.

Talk about threads you forget starting....

On another note I actually work with a woman from Rochdale - and she went to school with a number of the girls who were abused in that area and also a number of the perpetrators.

Not going into details on here but generally the boys knew who the vulnerable girls were from being in school (e.g. those whose parents didn't care/who were always out late/underage drinking etc) and they selected them based on that criteria.

On and honour killings too.
