> The issues around the downloading of IIOC [indecent images of children] are that statistically out of a cohort of offenders, the predominant characteristic is that the offence will be committed in the main by white males. Only a very small percentage will be black, around 3%, and only around 2% will be female.

That's quite a remarkable statistic. I wonder why.

US is like 12% black, no (and 50% female)? Doesn't explain the discrepancy.
