Knives in Schools: Scotland’s Growing Crisis | Aberdeen News
Description
Scotland’s schools have seen nearly 700 knife-related crimes in five years, sparking alarm as the Liberal Democrats accuse the government of failing to curb youth knife violence. Despite a slight drop in seized weapons last year, the numbers remain troubling—especially after recent fatal stabbings and high-profile cases involving teens. Critics blame slashed youth programs, arguing that lack of support and direction fuels violence, while the government insists schools are safe and claims it’s working with partners to tackle the issue through policing and targeted initiatives.
