Glasgow named European Commission cultural and creative capital of the UK The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor 2019 ranked 190 cities in 30 European countries on their 'cultural vibrancy', 'creative economy' and ability to attract creative talent. Glasgow was also hailed for its 'openness, tolerance and trust'. Glasgow is home to more than 100 cultural organisations. The council claims more people visit Glasgow's museums each year than in any other UK city outside of London. Eight Turner Prize winners have hailed from, trained in, or worked out of the city in recent years.
However, many Glaswegians will recognise another Glasgow.
The number of crimes committed by children in Glasgow has increased for the third year in a row. The most significant rise in offending stemmed from crimes of dishonesty, housebreaking and vehicle crime.
A council officer said: “We do not yet have a clear picture of what is driving these increases, we do know that there is a strong link between deprivation, inequality and crime.
Sergeant Michael Fletcher, One Glasgow hub supervisor for Police Scotland, said: “These young people often come from backgrounds blighted by poverty, very unstable family circumstances, addictions, early childhood trauma etc.”
