Deep dives
Understanding Grooming Gangs
Grooming gangs refer to groups involved in localized child sexual exploitation, a form of abuse that has been reported in various contexts for decades. In Britain, this particular phenomenon began gaining attention in the early 1960s, predominantly involving South Asian offenders, specifically Pakistani and Kashmiri men, targeting mostly white working-class girls in towns like Rotherham and Bradford. Reports of such abuse became more prominent in the early 2000s when MP Anne Cryer highlighted the issue, only to be dismissed as racist. This dismissal led to a chilling effect, causing many who might have supported her to remain silent about the issue due to fear of backlash, effectively contributing to a culture of censorship around the problem of grooming gangs.
