Glasgow has the highest youth homicide rate in the UK. A World Health Organisation assessment is that young men (between 10-29 years of age) in Scotland are seven times more likely to be the victim of homicide than their counterparts in France, and fives times more likely than their counterparts in England and Wales.
Scotland's Chief Statistician recently published Domestic Abuse recorded by the police in Scotland, 2007-08. REPORTED cases of domestic violence have increased in Scotland, with figures showing a rise of almost 14 per cent in four years. This year's figure is nearly 2 per cent higher than the 48,801 recorded in 2006-7, continuing a steady rise in incidents since 1999-2000, the first year for which data was available.
