Most Scots want police officers to tackle violent crime as a top priority, a poll has found.
A survey by pollsters Survation found 52 per cent of respondents listed knife crime as one of the most important issues that police should prioritise.
It was followed by child abuse inquiries and investigating sexual offences, both on 39 per cent, while 24 per cent said antisocial behaviour and 23 per cent listed ‘drug and crime enforcement’.
