Our thanks to Nigel for this:
Nigel writes:
“Section 2, a timeline of cases and reports, is a demonstration of the power of the political and social elite to suppress and ‘hide’ something while in fact there is abundant evidence from all sorts of official sources. It is a lesson in the power to do so. And paralleled by the decades-long concealment of the truth of Domestic Abuse.”
The report is 197 pages long, the last 27 pages of which consists of references.
The Executive Summary alone is seven pages long (pp. 6-12).
From p.61:
“National data on the demography of victims and perpetrators is poor.
Most victims are girls (78% in 2023, based on 88% of sex recorded, COCAD). [J4MB emphasis: The fact that 22% of victims are boys is not mentioned in the Executive Summary. There, and elsewhere in the 197-page report, so far as I can see – other than the sentence I’ve mentioned here – victims are described only as “girls” or children”. So Baroness Casey has added her own twist to further marginalising the abused boys, and of course the mainstream media never mention the boys.]
The most common age of victims is between 10 – 15 years old (57% in 2023,
based on 91% of age recorded for victims, COCAD).
Most perpetrators are men (76% in 2023, based on 72% of gender recorded,
COCAD).” [J4MB emphasis: How often have you seen in the mainstream media that a significant minority of the perpetrators are women? Nor me.]

The Baroness is of course a feminist so we can expect the usual VAWG Strategy approach. i.e. the victims are always female, even when they are male and vice versa for perpetration. Always worth trawling through the data on these things.
