http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2002/nov/19/immigrationpolicy.ukcrime1
The home secretary, David Blunkett, today announced the most radical overhaul of sex crime legislation for more than 100 years, aimed at sweeping away the "archaic" laws governing homosexuality, while tightening protections against rapists, paedophiles and other sex offenders.

Leader. Government plans to reform the rape laws will require a cultural shift in the popular perception of 'date rape' as somehow not a real crime.

Colin Brown, political editor. The definition of paedophile behaviour is to be radically extended this week in a bid by ministers to try to prevent the "grooming" of children for sexual abuse. Measures to be unveiled by David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, go far beyond the expected Government response to growing public concern about paedophilia.

Sandra Laville. British laws on homosexual sex were ruled unlawful by the European Court of Human Rights yesterday. The judgement strikes at the heart of legislation regulating sex between homosexuals and obliges the Government to liberalise the gross indecency laws that date back to the 1800s.
