Is crime spiralling
out of control?
Violent Crime
An Audit Scotland report which shows police forces continuing to clear up
more crimes and making further progress in tackling housebreakings, drugs,
and road injuries
However,
despite official evidence of reductions in both violent crime and homicides
in 2003, violence continued to be a problem in many communities and the
figures for such crimes were still high.
The clear-up rate for
recorded crime in Scotland is now at an all-time high. This shows that our
investment in frontline policing is helping to reduce crime. |
