The first attempt at a nationwide assessment of patterns of child sexual exploitation reveals that 26% of those who engage in on-street grooming of young girls are Asian. But Peter Davies, the director of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre (Ceop), which carried out the research warned against jumping to any conclusions from the findings on the ethnicity of offenders because the data gathered by his investigators was incomplete, not nationwide and of poor quality.Either the results are worthless and therefore should not have been published OR there is a genuine problem with child abuse among the Asian community compared to other ethnic backgrounds within the population of the UK.
But then CEOP have form for producing rubbish, don't they?
As an aside when I tried to look at the report, following the link in the Guardian article it took me to a .pdf of a report by Age Concern. Not sure how that's linked to this story but .. .. ..

"... Peter Davies, ...... warned against jumping to any conclusions .... on the ethnicity of offenders ......"
i.e. the percentage of Asians could actually be greater than 26%.
