A report detailing the extent of child sexual exploitation in England is under fire for playing down the race of offenders

Despite making up only 6.9% of the population, Asian and South-East Asian men made up 27.4% of offenders, according to the report. Black men make up 2.3% of the population but 16.1% of offenders. By comparison, white men make up 91% of the population but only 35.9% of offenders. Asian offenders, many of whom are of Pakistani origin, seem much more likely to offend in groups than are white sex offenders.
