@KeepTakingTheSoma Oh, I think we really do!
We still don’t know cause of grooming gangs, says scandal reporter Andrew Norfolk, The Times journalist who first revealed the abuse in 2011, says there needs to be proper research into the issues that let criminals flourish
The national inquiry into child sex abuse failed to get to grips with the root causes of grooming gangs which have still not been properly examined, according to The Times reporter who revealed the scandal. Andrew Norfolk, the paper’s former chief investigative reporter, said that such abuse would never be fully stamped out until there was proper research into and understanding of the issues of religion, culture and social cohesion that had allowed criminals to flourish. Norfolk, who more than a decade ago revealed the widespread abuse of young white girls by predominantly Asian men, said that concerns over racism and other cultural sensitivities meant that the causation factor had never been properly examined.
