I’m sure you know “Asia” is a continent comprising 48 countries. Let’s get specific here because, in the UK, “Asian” is a euphemism for Pakistani. Perhaps the Lowe and Casey reports and the Greenwood dossier will enlighten me how “rings” “gangs”"groups” actually function. I’m not exactly a doubter but I want to know how such a gang rapes one girl. I have read The Independent article claiming 84% of “grooming gang offences”. Now, how exactly are such offences specified in the criminal code? What are the specific charges? What lengths of sentences result? I am sure you know "rock spiders" are not treated kindly in prison...in any country. And what drives these gangs? Is it a pile-on effect where others draw confidence from a group which has already been successful in rape? And why do these men, Pakistani or otherwise, need to rape? Don’t they have wives and girlfriends, work, family life? All rapes are crimes of violence moreso than sex. Are these men asserting their dominance by raping white girls, insecurity about their skin colour? The article sort of trails off. In 2011, all white, in 2012—just the next year—75% “Asian” grooming gangs. No link to the 2012 inquiry by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner. If you have a link, I’d like to read it. TIA! That means, “grooming gangs’ were not identified in 2011, therefore all instances were simply considered child-rape. But in 2012, we don’t hear what the actual offences are in law. And, as noted, too small a sample size. I'm not for absolving guilt. But I don't think anyone should simply adopt the dominant paradigm because everybody else is onboard. And, OMG, think of the children!
