View source for Sex before 16: why the law is failing

Poll in Britain<br>
<br>
On November 16, 2003 Channel 4 broadcast a programme; "Sex Before 16: Why the Law is Failing" and afterwards conducted a phone poll of its viewers in the United Kingdom.<br>
<br>
Of the 3366 respondents to the four options; 
* 34% thought the age of consent should be reduced to 14 
* 35% thought it should stay at 16 
* 13% thought it should be raised to 18 
* 18% thought it should be abolished
Whilst this would suggest that there is more potential to lower the age, the topic remains controversial, and the Channel 4 viewer sample is questionably libertarian.<br>
