Thanks Dan. I think this is a fairly good initial potted set of approaches.
One obvious important amendment might definitely include adding something like the italicised section: "Various investigations concluded that: complaints from victims were sometimes not taken seriously; some girls were portrayed as "troubled" rather than as victims; some officials were reluctant to discuss the ethnic background of certain offender groups because they feared accusations of racism; concerns about reputational damage sometimes influenced decision-making. Institutional anti-working class bias against poor and working class girls fatally prevented action on their behalf - both at relatively low levels (eg police and social workers in the community) to a very high level (responsible local and national governmental levels). This does not mean that fear of racism was the only cause of these failures. Bureaucratic inertia, incompetence, tunnel vision, lack of resources and institutional self-protection also played important roles.
