Scots claim title . . . as most violent

According to a UN report, Scotland is the most violent country in the first world:

A United Nations report claims more than 2,000 Scots are assaulted every week — almost 10 times official police figures.

The study — which does not include figures for murder, muggings or sexual assaults — claims that together, England and Wales are the second most dangerous countries.

I know that Scotland always likes to appear ahead of England in any league table, but surely this isn't what they were thinking of?

Hat tip to GCH.
