143 -1. **Baroness Louise Casey (2025).** //National Audit on Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.// Commissioned by the UK Home Office. (Key findings and quotations on institutional failures, data issues, and recommendations are drawn from this audit’s report.)
144 -1. **Alexis Jay (2014).** //Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham (1997–2013).// Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. (Revealed ~~1,400 victims in Rotherham and that majority of perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage; documented council/police suppressing the issue out of misplaced fears of racism.)
145 -1. **Lizzie Dearden – The Independent (21 Feb 2020).** “Grooming gang review kept secret as Home Office claims releasing findings ‘not in public interest’.” (Reported on the Home Office’s refusal to publish its grooming gangs research, including Sajid Javid’s 2018 commissioning of the study and quotes from officials and victims about the cover-up.)
146 -1. **Jeanette Oldham – Birmingham Mail (24 June 2015).** “Police knew grooming gangs were targeting Birmingham schools five years ago but did not alert public.” (Based on confidential West Midlands Police documents obtained via FOI.

147 -1. **Sky News (16 June 2025).** “Flawed data used repeatedly to dismiss claims about ‘Asian grooming gangs’, Baroness Casey finds.” (Coverage of Casey’s audit findings – notably that flawed/absent ethnicity data was used to downplay grooming gang claims.

148 -1. **Sky News – Politics Hub (15 June 2025).** “Grooming gangs scandal timeline: What happened, what inquiries there were...” by Alix Culbertson. (Provided a chronology of key grooming gang cases and political actions from 2001–2025, including conviction numbers and events like Starmer’s inquiry pledge and Musk’s comments.)
149 -1. **The Guardian (16 Aug 2017).** “Sarah Champion resigns as shadow equalities minister” by Jessica Elgot. (Details the controversy around MP Sarah Champion’s Sun article stating “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men...”, including direct quotes and her resignation.)
150 -1. **Islam21c (15 Dec 2020).** “‘Offenders are most commonly White’ – grooming gangs report finally released by Home Office.” (Summarizes the 2020 Home Office paper’s findings, highlighting the quote that group-based CSE offenders are most commonly white and come from diverse backgrounds; also critiques prior flawed studies like Quilliam’s.)
151 -1. **Ground News / Express (17 June 2025).** “Key parts of the Casey Review into grooming gangs and a culture of denial.” (Summarized Casey’s report, mentioning an entire chapter on “Denial” and the quote about collective failure to address ethnicity, and noted disproportionate Asian suspects in areas like Greater Manchester with 243 suspects identified.)
152 -1. **Birmingham Mail via Middle East Forum (2015).** //Operation Protection report excerpts.// (Provided specific statistics from West Midlands Police’s 2010 problem profile: e.g. //“79% of identified suspects are Asian... 62% of Asian suspects are of Pakistani origin”//, and the rationale about potential community backlash.)
