11th March 2015 - New section - Violence

A new web section on Violence has been published on the ScotPHO website. Violence has been a persistent problem across Scotland and can be defined as a public health problem. Data on violence was previously included in the Crime section of the ScotPHO website. However, creating a distinct section on violence provides more comprehensive information and data on violence and underlines the importance of a public health response to violence reduction.
