POLICE Scotland is under pressure after finally confirming that children have been strip searched in custody.

Twenty-one children had their clothes removed in a single month as part of police investigations. The United Nations definition of a child is a person under 18.

Police operating procedures define a strip search as one that involves the staged removal of all clothing and an external examination of the body.
