Scots are most at risk of violent attacks

Scots are less likely to fall victim to crime than people living south of the border but are more likely to suffer violence, according to the country’s most comprehensive justice survey.

The study of more than 16,000 people revealed more people believe crime levels are either the same or decreasing in their local communities as compared to previous years and there has been a general decrease in the fear of crime.
