Project:
467
Description:
There remains an evidence gap on the drivers of group-based child sexual exploitation, including group dynamics, online methods and possible cultural factors.
Desired Outcome:
A credible, independent evidence base that explains offender pathways and informs prevention, policing and safeguarding interventions.
What Could Go Wrong:
Policy and public debate may continue to rely on assertion, partial evidence or ideology rather than tested understanding.
Current Situation:
The Casey audit specifically recommended research into the drivers of group-based child sexual exploitation, including online offending, cultural factors and the role of the group.
Action Strategy:
Commission independent multidisciplinary research, link police and safeguarding datasets, and convert findings into guidance, training and risk indicators.
