There is no crime of "street grooming" in statute or in common law.

When You posted this, you also posted the clarification tht street grooming is Merely the means by which abusers and traffickers trap their victims.

So the crime isn't street grroming, the crimes are trafficking and sexual abuse.


The Dando report confirms that the data they retrieved has not changed this reality.

Grooming, including Street grooming, remains merely the means by which victims are snared.

The authors clarify that the data does not indicate a new crime type, and they do so because they are concerned about people like you who are generalizing it into an entire crime type.

What it indicates is indicates a variation on a long established crime type.

A crime type in which Pakistanis are not overrepresented.

You are desperate to twist their words so they have another meaning, but despite working hard to do so you have failed as their meaning and intent are so clear and unambiguous.

Their intent is to confront misrepresentations of the data, by which they were "surprised" (remember?) by people trying to assert that Pakistani men are over-represented in a horrendous crime type practically unique to them.

ie, their intent was to confront people like YOU.


PS keith,

Can you explain the relevance of my nationality? I ask as you have brought it up twice?

(Since you are not racist I am sure you will have no difficulty explaining the relevance of my being from Ireland)
