Top cop: 'Violence against women must become as taboo as drink driving'

A senior Scottish police officer asserts that violence against women and girls should be regarded as a public health issue, stating such acts must become as taboo as drink driving. Simultaneously, arguments have been made that the justice system should treat this violence as a form of terrorism due to the resulting injuries and deaths. This approach suggests that perpetrators of male violence should be treated as pariahs to ensure a tougher legal response.
