An early version of an article entitled ‘Revealed: 84% of men in gangs convicted of grooming young white girls are Asian and see them as "easy targets" for sex’, published on 9 December 2017 did not make clear that the 84 per cent Asian figure related to membership of grooming gangs, not to the numbers of all men convicted of grooming young girls. The article has been amended and we apologise for any confusion.
