  Scotland tops list of world's most violent countries
  By Katrina Tweedie

  "A UNITED Nations report has labelled Scotland the most violent
  country in the developed world, with people three times more likely
  to be assaulted than in America.

  "England and Wales recorded the second highest number of violent
  assaults while Northern Ireland recorded the fewest."

I thought this was interesting, a bit further down:

  "Detective Chief Superintendent John Carnochan, head of the
  Strathclyde Police's violence reduction unit, said the problem was
  chronic and restricting access to drink and limiting the sale of
  knives would at least reduce the problem."
