Councillors in Inverness voted for a rapist taxi driver to keep his operator’s licence. Martin Geissler speaks to the Press and Journal’s Louise Glen about why – and what it says about attitudes towards women’s safety.

And Lorna Walker from the Govan Law Centre, who represents women attacked in taxis, tells us about Glasgow City Council’s decision to block an application for a female-only cab company.
