Petition Action

Classify Organised Grooming and Rape Gangs as Domestic Terrorism under Law

Petition Details

Organised rape gangs operate through systematic sexual exploitation, coercion, violence, & intimidation, primarily targeting vulnerable children and young people. These crimes are not isolated offences but coordinated, ongoing campaigns that instil fear, silence victims, to undermine public safety.

Additional Information

These activities meet many of the key elements we think commonly define domestic terrorism, including organised criminal action, the use of violence and intimidation, and the deliberate targeting of a civilian population to exert control and silence:
Multiple perpetrators
Structured roles
Long-term operations Intimidation & control
Threats, violence, blackmail
Victims and communities living in fear
Systemic harm sometimes on racial or religious grounds
Repeated offences over years
Institutional failures to intervene
