A fantastic reflection of her progress and commitment 👏

What is Section 38 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010?

Section 38 relates to threatening or abusive behaviour that could cause a reasonable person fear or alarm, essentially what many people refer to as a breach of the peace.

This is a serious offence and a conviction can lead to a criminal record, so it’s important to seek legal advice as early as possible.

Even if you believe you are not guilty, getting the right legal support can make all the difference.
