I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

One really tricky issue with ethnicity data relating to suspects - as opposed to defendants -is that it's based on child victims' perceptions of someone they may not know very well or even at all. That lends itself to a crude 4-fold typology, rooted in British colonialism and remade in police data
