Human error may have led to grooming gang cases being dropped - NCA Operation Beaconport

[IwantToRetire]

Operation Beaconport - a National Crime Agency project tasked with unearthing failings to tackle grooming gangs - is set to look at thousands of cases where police forces and the Crown Prosecution Service decided to take no further action against suspects.

Police say that there appear to be cases where lines of inquiry were not pursued properly, victim accounts were not taken, and suspects were not interviewed as they should have been.

Investigations that were wrongly closed with no further action taken have already been discovered.

That headline annoys me.

Saying that human error may have led to cases being dropped makes it sound like a passive error that caused the cases not to be investigated. Something along the lines of information being misfiled or forgetting to take witness statements.

Accidentally on purpose?

human error = male indifference?

It shouldn't have to been done, but if yet another investigation helps highlight the ongoing failings of the police, its worthwhile.

But when will the day come that there is no need to investigations.

So it wasn’t fear of racism after all? Just a genuine mistake? Well glad that’s settled, can we drop the pressure for a pointless enquiry now?

Human error, erroneously thinking children can be prostitutes.

You missed the (sarcasm) flag from your post.

Not sure what you thought the point of posting that was.

The issue is, irrespective of the race of either perpetrator or victim, for years, in fact decades the police have failed to respond in a way that shows they understand that child abuse is child abuse.

This goes way back into the long established and stil entrenched patriarchy that women and girls do not have the same value as men, and man's right to use and abuse women and girls.

This is the poster who believes that the rapists in Rotherham shouldn't have been subject to UK law but instead should have been dealt with by their own community.

As an alternative, if they are facing criminal charges and trial the poster thinks that there should be a super injuction that prevents any reporting of their crimes.

Well it’s not like British society has any idea how to hand out judgement to those who prey on children and teenagers, can’t hurt to let other communities have a crack at it, no?

Yeah, don't I know. The same poster that advocates for non-secret votes so that Reform voters can be denied jobs and services.

And what would that look like.

Rape victims being forced to marry their rapists.

Male family members of the victims being allowed to rape one of the rapists female family members as punishment.

The UK legal system has it faults but I still choose that over community punishment

This!

@Swiftasthewind tbh I am not a regular poster on these threads and even I know that it has been pointed out to you several times A. Why you can’t just allow communities to just do their own thing and B. Certain communities neither value women and have odd ‘punishments’ for these type of crimes that seem just to punish women strangely.

One day it would be really nice if FWR was able to have threads that focused on a feminist analysis of women's rights.

So many threads now just become the leaping off point for individual bug bears.

Its only to be expected that MSM will use "feminism" as a starting off point to then to then ignore feminism, but strange that it seems to have take hold here.

I think it is this same poster who was on the threads about the Huntingdon knife attack. They said that - in the interests of community cohesion - the authorities should say that the perpetrator was white, whether he was or not.

They’re also a fan of sex tourism in Africa.

ah yes, the "exotic lovelies"

I can believe in human error per se, but not in the kind of "human error" that makes similar cases go off the rails in the same direction, over and over again.

Aah, gotta love a euphemism.

Human error my arse, they were dropped because they didn't give a shit.

Sadly, in some cases it’s far worse than that.

“Five women who were exploited by grooming gangs in Rotherham as children say they were also abused by police officers in the town at the time.
One says she was raped from the age of 12 by a serving South Yorkshire Police (SYP) officer in a marked police car. He would threaten to hand her back to the gang if she did not comply, she says.
"In a world where you were being abused so much, being raped once [by a police officer] was a lot easier than multiple rapes [by the gang] and I think he knew that," she tells the BBC.
We have seen written accounts from these women, plus testimony from 25 other victims of grooming gangs, with some of those women saying that corrupt police officers worked alongside the gangs or failed to act on child sexual exploitation.”

The scale of the corruption, negligence of duty and abuse by the authorities in these areas is immense.

It’s quite horrific isn’t it.

I think we should have a careful look at the people and organisations that are not fully behind a proper, laser focused inquiry. There are too many conflicts of interest going on.

Human error is forgetting your keys.

Human error is not multiple police officers from multiple forces in multiple cities “forgetting” that gangs of grown men raping, torturing and murdering little girls is a bad thing.
