Britain’s Home Secretary, Priti Patel, has published a long-awaited paper on the racial and other characteristics of child sex grooming gangs following both recent and non-recent high-profile cases.

When the publication of the paper (pdf) was announced on Tuesday, Patel said the “Victims and survivors of group-based child sexual exploitation have told me how they were let down by the state in the name of political correctness.”
