14:58Now PlayingJames O'Brien is joined by Nazir Afzal, ex-chief prosecutor who was central to the successful prosecution of the Rochdale grooming gang.
Mr Afzal says that he has had 'victims tell him that 'they have been re-traumatised' over the past few days. He also defends Keir Starmer's work as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) saying he has no idea how 'it can be seen as a failure'.
The government has refused to launch a fresh national inquiry into grooming gangs, pointing out that there has already been one and they are focused on implementing some of the recommendations.
Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones told Nick on Tuesday that British people want "less talk, more action".
A vote attempting to force an inquiry, led by the Conservatives, failed this week.
Labour's mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said this week that he supports a new inquiry, breaking with the government. He also criticised the Conservatives for "opportunism".
