December 20, 2011 4:42 PM
Commenting on figures released today which reveal that 16% of adults in Scotland have experienced some form of domestic abuse, Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokesperson Alison McInnes MSP said: "It is shocking that domestic abuse still happens so frequently in Scotland.
The North East MSP added: "We need to remember that every one of these statistics relates to a family or individual afflicted by this abuse.
"The devastating impact that this abuse leaves in its wake has lasting consequences for families, children and our communities.
"Those who find themselves in these awful situations need to know that if they seek help and assistance, it will be there for them.
"We need to send a strong message that domestic abuse will not be tolerated in Scotland."
