Episode Details

Scotland’s police are ramping up efforts to tackle domestic abuse this summer, partnering with charities and deploying specialized units to combat serious violence, coercive control, and honor-based crimes. With abuse reports rising during holiday periods, authorities are leveraging tools like the 10-year-old Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland — which saw 186 applications in one division alone this year — to stop abuse before it starts. Teams are also receiving critical training on forced marriage and honor-based violence, while campaigns like “That Guy” are sparking conversations among men about protecting women. Early intervention, survivor support, and accessible reporting channels — including 101 and third-party systems — are central to their strategy.
