Yes, indeed, Professor Maisie. You might want to apply you're technique to Rotherham specifically. Some basic demographics:
https://www.rotherham.gov.uk/jsna/info/23/people/54/ethnicity_and_cultural_identity
...which has this summary:
"Rotherham had 236,438 (91.9%) White British and 20,842 (8.1%) Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) residents in the 2011 Census.
The largest BME community is Pakistani & Kashmiri who numbered 7,912 in 2011 or 3.1% of the population.
The second largest BME group is Other White with 3,418 people, the largest community within this being Slovak and Czech Roma.
Rotherham's BME population is relatively low compared with the national average of 20.2%.
The 2011 Census showed 66.5% of the population as Christian, 3.7% were Muslim and 0.7% had another religion and 22.5% had no religion."
Andrew Norfolk's investigations (reported in the Times) revealed 1,400 victims known about at the time and the names of over a hundred men known to the police who appeared to be taking advantage of the "informed sexual decisions" of twelve-year old girls.
The number of victims and suspected perpetrators iis about the same to that of Telford which has a similar demographic. That scandal came out last year, if anybody remembers, but the local police (or the CPS) decided not to prosecute.
