Homicides in Scotland up 10% but still at historic low

The latest statistics show Glasgow City had 10 homicide victims, the highest of any region in Scotland.

It accounted for 18% of Scotland’s homicides despite only making up 12% of the population.

However, Glasgow has also seen the rate of homicides reduce faster than in the rest of Scotland over the past 20 years.

The report found that 44 of the victims were men and 13 were women.

Men were by far the most likely to be accused of committing the crimes (81%).

The majority of victims were said to have been known to their killer.

Women were more likely to be killed by a partner or ex-partner whereas men were more commonly killed by an acquaintance.
