Background
Violence is a cross-cutting issue that can take many different forms and have a profound and lasting effect on individuals, families and communities. It disrupts social cohesion, hinders economic progress and perpetuates cycles of trauma and retaliation.
Police Scotland is committed to ensuring everyone lives free from violence. We recognise this aspiration requires a multifaceted approach across a wide range of statutory and third sector partners. Police Scotland is actively committed to collaboration, applying place-based interventions, policy and legislation, education and awareness, and support for victims and perpetrators.
Through the quarterly and annual performance reporting, Police Scotland continues to publish a large volume of publicly available data relating to violence.
