Scottish murder rates


Scotland second on murder rate poll
Midlothian Today. 16 July 2007

Scotland has the second highest murder rate in western Europe, it has been reported.

The new figures, which show that Scots are three times more likely to be killed unlawfully than people living in England and Wales, come just days before the country hosts an international conference on violence prevention.

World Health Organisation (WHO) statistics show the country has 1.75 homicides per 100,000, the Sunday Times reported.

Of the 21 European countries covered by the figures only Finland has a higher rate, at 2.16 per 100,000, it said. That compares with 0.74 in France, 0.63 in Germany and 0.49 in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Scotland has kept second spot in the table, despite the rate falling from the 2.23 recorded by the previous WHO survey in 2002.

Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said he did not believe Scotland is an overwhelmingly violent country and is not the worst off internationally.

He said: "But clearly Scotland does have its own very real problems, not least the high levels of alcohol-fuelled violence in our homes and on our streets, and the long-standing issue of knife crime.

"Yet, violence is preventable, not inevitable. And the Scottish government is determined to take action to tackle the problem, including the longer term work needed to challenge the culture of violence that prevails in too many parts of Scotland."

Mr MacAskill will open a three-day WHO conference on violence prevention at the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan, Fife, on Tuesday. The conference will be attended by 200 experts from around the world.
