Abstract: This article considers the sufficiency of current sentencing options for high‐risk, highly deviant sexual predators in England and Wales. In terms of public protection considerations it questions whether chemical castration should be an option and evaluates what we know about the effectiveness of such treatment.

Abstract: This article explores whether the introduction of accredited programmes into probation through the 'What Works' policy has changed the positioning of community punishment and community rehabilitation orders in the sentencing tariff. In addition to arguing that the two orders have become virtually indistinguishable and thus equal on the sentencing tariff, it also explores the more controversial view that probation supervision is, in reality, more onerous and has therefore overtaken community service in the sentencing tariff. The article concludes by questioning whether this equality was intentional, with reference to the new community order with requirements, as outlined in the Criminal Justice Act 2003.

Sexual abuse reporting rates, which are low in general, are thought to be even worse for those living within British South Asian communities. After brief consideration of why British South Asian women and children do not report sexual abuse, this article focuses on the working practices of the non-governmental agencies that support such women. It reflects on existing legislation and policy and makes several key recommendations with reference to how this, along with practice, should change. The findings indicate an urgent need for a national training programme; the implementation of mandatory healthy relationship programmes; enhanced community involvement; outreach work; and the creation of victim groups and mentor schemes.

In May 2012, nine men from the Rochdale area of Manchester were found guilty of sexually exploiting a number of underage girls. Media reporting on the trial focused on the fact that eight of the men were of Pakistani descent, while all the girls were white. Framing similar cases in Preston, Rotherham, Derby, Shropshire, Oxford, Telford and Middlesbrough as ethnically motivated, the media incited moral panic over South Asian grooming gangs preying on white girls. While these cases shed light on the broader problem of sexual exploitation in Britain, they also reveal continuing misconceptions that stereotype South Asian men as 'natural' perpetrators of these crimes due to culturally-specific notions of hegemonic masculinity. Examining newspaper coverage from 2012 to 2013, this article discusses the discourse of the British media's portrayal of South Asian men as perpetrators of sexual violence against white victims, inadvertently construing 'South Asian men' as 'folk devils'.
