unreferenced date April 2010 Scots Law Crimes of Indecency Introduction Certain laws are in place in Scotland to protect the welfare of children under the age of puberty. In Scotland and in the legal sense, puberty is at the age of 12 for girls and 14 for the age of males. Definition A crime at common law for any person to indulge in indecent practises towards children under the age of puberty , whether they are consenting or not . Examples of this could include indecently exposing private parts of a female or male to young children, improper handling of the private parts of children, inducing children to handle the private parts of others and taking indecent photographs of children. Statute offences Section 6 of the Criminal Law Consolidation Scotland Act 1995 makes it an offence to show any lewd, indecent or libidinous behaviour towards a girl who is between the age of 12 and 16. If the female is under the age of 12, it would revert to the common law offence. PublicIndecency Indecent conduct could be constituted as being criminal in some circumstances, e.g. indecent exposure, sexual intercourse in public view. Public could include almost anywhere, including the person s own home if it could be seen through an open window by a person outside. Determination of indecency will depend on the time and place. For example, certain sex theatre shows are not illegal as they are advertised as such and should therefore not be offensive to the public if in enclosed viewing. So long as the public as aware of the content of the show, it would not be regarded as publicindecency. Indecent Assault Indecent assault is not a separate crime but is linked to the crime of assault where a person touches another person private parts without their consent. This offence is regarded as a common law crime. Category Scottish criminal law ... more details

Cleanup date November 2007 Unreferenced date February 2007 There are two categories of public historians . The first, and most widely understood definition of a public historian is a practitioner of public history . This definition holds that public historians are generally regarded as those people who create history for public consumption history as digested outside of the academy . Their work can take place in various locations and formats, including museums, historic sites, archives, films, and books. Generally speaking, then, the difference between a historian and a public historian pertains to audience . In the first case, public historians aim to educate and engage the public through history historians , on the other hand, generally speak to an academic audience, and not the general public. Public history has received a boost in popularity over the past thirty years, which has resulted in the development of the second form of public history practice. This second definition of public historians has to do with those historians who, within the academy , study the public consumption of history . In addition, professional historians giving objective expert evidence before courts and tribunals may also be considered as public historians .
