POLITICIANS have called for stricter internet controls after pornography was linked to a rise in the number of young Scots involved in sex crimes.
They also claimed that parents should be doing more to monitor children online following a report released yesterday by the Scottish Government which showed a 10% rise in reported sexual offences.
Rape Crisis Scotland and the Women's Support Project said an increase in young people becoming involved in sex offences could be linked to the availability of extreme pornography, prompting a reaction from the Conservatives, Labour and the LibDems.
