Next Steps
We know that inequality plays a significant role in shaping incidence of violence and the effectiveness of violence prevention efforts. When inequality is high it can foster environments where violence is more likely to occur. Police Scotland will play its part in supporting the recently published Programme for Government. The programme calls out the impact of, and need to tackle persistent inequality, and speaks to an aspiration that ‘Scotland remains a place where everyone can live in safety and security.’
Police Scotland will continue to tackle violence through a coordinated and focussed approach that ensures our communities are safe and supported. We will prioritise working closely across Local Community Planning Partnerships in addressing the needs and priorities of local communities. We will continue to support the Violence Prevention Framework and SVRU in identifying, testing and embedding good practice interventions.
