What the petition asks
The widespread reporting of rape gangs in the UK across many cities over many years must be investigated as to its cause and connectedness.
In addition, the fact that its scale has only just come to light points to the culpability of many agencies including the CPS, local Councils, Social Services, the Police Service, Government etc. Therefore, an inquiry with the independence and power to investigate this issue across the fabric of this Nation is needed.
