Scottish government: 'Misogyny could become a stand-alone offence in Scotland'

Misogyny could become a stand-alone offence in Scotland, the Scottish government has said.

Justice Secretary Keith Brown told BBC Scotland's The Sunday Show such a move would be a "very important signal that these behaviours are not acceptable in society from men".

A working group led by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC on whether misogyny should be a distinct crime will report in February.
