    She’s over 50 so you’d hate her anyway.

    She was very middle class….along with “Terry and June”, a staple of TV hilarity back in the day.
    I loved them all

    I've posted this on here before, but it never harms to re-read it. Definately had a positive effect up here. I've been living up here nearly 22 years, and when I first moved up, gangs and knife crime were rife - it definately has quietened down since the VRUs were introduced, although not completely obliterated unfortunately.

    How Scotland stemmed the tide of knife crime
    By Paul O'Hare
    BBC Scotland news website

    Published
    4 March 2019
    Home Secretary Sajid Javid has condemned the "senseless violence" that has seen a rise in the number of teenagers being stabbed to death across the UK.

    In London, a Violence Reduction Unit is now up and running in a bid to tackle the number of teenagers dying as a result of knife crime. It is based on a ground-breaking approach used in Scotland.

    Scotland's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) was set up to stem the tide of knife crime which saw Glasgow become Europe's murder capital.

    From its formation in 2005 the VRU proposed a fresh approach to tackling the problem.

    Its key message was that gang-related stabbings and slashings were not just a policing issue but a public health issue. The unit's motto was a simple one: "Violence is preventable, not inevitable."

    In 2004/05 there were 137 homicides (which include murder and culpable homicide figures) in Scotland - in Glasgow, there were 40 cases alone, double the national rate.

    By 2016/17 the number had more than halved to 62.

    Last year this had reduced by a further three to 59. A sharp instrument was the main method of killing for 34 (58%) of those cases and all but one of them involved a knife.

    This homicide figure was the joint lowest number of recorded homicide cases for a single 12-month period since 1976.

    Over the years the VRU has worked closely with partners in the NHS, education and social work.

    It has stressed the importance of positive role models and its projects have been shaped by statistics.
