Senior police officers express concerns that government pressure to reinvestigate closed historic gang grooming cases could hinder efforts to combat current threats to child safety.
Police figures indicate that only 0.6% of child sexual abuse allegations involve grooming by male groups, highlighting that these cases are a small portion of a larger problem.
Critics argue that the government's reaction to historic cases is driven by political motives. Senior police warn that resources may be diverted from addressing more prevalent forms of abuse.
Experts urge that despite the focus on gang-related offenses, the majority of child abuse occurs within family settings, suggesting that resource allocation needs reevaluation.
