Frank Dawtry Memorial Lecture 2019

In a context of concern over knife crime, Will Linden, Acting Director of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, will speak about the ground- breaking work of the unit in tackling violence.

Since being appointed to the Violence Reduction Unit in March 2005 he has been involved in a number of projects including the development of the Homicide/Deaths Database and CIRV (Community Initiative to Reduce Violence), Injury Surveillance, Mentors in Violence Prevention, Employability/Desistence programmes and has provided much of the research and strategy development in support of the Violence Reduction Strategy for Scotland.
