There is never an excuse for violence on our streets
``There is never any excuse for violence or disorder on our streets, nor for vandalising some of our nation's most important symbols. The attack on the Prince of Wales's car, in which he and the Duchess of Cornwall were travelling, is also totally unacceptable. I know that the police will take all steps required to identify those responsible.''
Rapists are free to walk the streets of Tayside because so many victims are not reporting attacks to the police, it has been claimed.
