  1. >Statistics released by the Scottish government showed 45 people were the victims of homicide in 2024-25, 12 fewer than the previous year.

    >Over the past 20 years the number of homicide victims has more than halved from 96 in 2005/6.

    >All 45 homicides recorded last year were solved, with the figures showing 30 men and 15 women died in such incidents.

    Great news to see this decline and that all cases were solved.

  2. Is the number of attempted murders also falling or are we just getting shit at it?

  3. And meek middle class parents still won’t let their kids outside to play…

  4. I dunno, know a few people a small inconvenience away from going postal so might even out again

  5. I always wonder what effect advances in medicine has on this. Surgical and paramedic treatment and better systems for getting them to hospital.

  6. I murdered a sausage supper last night, does that count?

  7. And yet every teuchter is still trembling terrified of cities

  8. Cost of living crisis has everyone picking up extra shifts, no time left for hobbies.
