We held a webinar on preventing violence in a recession, where we discussed the challenges of preventing violence during a recession while maintaining a rights-based approach. We discussed what violence in Scotland looked like at the last recession 12 years ago, what has changed, what does justice look like for a young person and then a vision of a fair and just Scotland in 2030 and what we would like that to look like.

Our panel on the day included Niven Rennie, Scottish Violence Reduction Unit; Susan McVie, University of Edinburgh; Meg Binn, Cairn Project at Edinburgh City Youth Café
