Rape Cases Surge in Glasgow and Scotland | Glasgow News

Published 2 days, 8 hours ago
Description

Glasgow’s rape and attempted rape cases hit a grim new high, with nearly 1,000 reported over two years — 486 in 2026 alone, matching last year’s record. Across Scotland, sexual crime surged 10%, with Glasgow’s rate slightly above the national average. Alarmingly, only 43.2% of cases are cleared, leaving 276 unresolved — fueling fear among women. Other offenses like image threats and child abuse images also climbed, while assault reports dipped slightly but remain above decade-long lows. Officials are sounding the alarm, demanding urgent action to tackle the rising tide of violence against women and girls.
