"It is a sinister and deeply uncomfortable scenario, not least because these crimes frequently have a racial element: in many of the identifiable cases, the pimps come from the Asian or Afro-Caribbean communities. As such, the parents of some young victims claim the authorities are reluctant to tackle the issue for fear of upsetting race relations in areas with large ethnic minorities."
Of course there will be huffing and puffing from the worthy PC souls who are responsible who will vehemently insist that: "They do want the Police to arrest such people, without fear or favour." But just wait. As soon as the Police take them at their word, out will crawl the PC lawyers and politicians from the woodwork claiming that it is "Pure, racial harassment."
The Police Force [SORRY! - I meant 'Service'] is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. I know the Police bring much down upon themselves - usually at a senior and oft times Politically Correct level - but the solid guys at the sharp end really are treated like doggie poo.
