Almost 50,000 people have signed a petition demanding that the government release its research into the characteristics of grooming gangs. Having exceeded 10,000 signatures, the government must respond to the appeal, which is the result of an article in The Independent revealing that the Home Office refused to publish the document and claimed it was not in the “public interest”. “We, the British public, demand the release of the official research on grooming gangs undertaken by the government in full,” the petition says. It cites another Independent article, which revealed that almost 19,000 suspected child victims of sexual exploitation were identified by local authorities in just one year.
