About the story

Why does Glasgow have an inherent culture of knife crime, and violence, giving it the title of being the “Murder Capital of Europe?”

A UNITED Nations report, prepared by their crime research institute, labelled Scotland the most violent country in the developed world.

Over 60 percent of violent crime in Strathclyde involves the use of a knife.

I’ve progressed this work independently to try and produce a balanced and honest visual record of violence in Glasgow. I’d like to thank everyone who helped make it possible.
