Police-reported crime in Canada
The year 2015 marked the first rise in police-reported crime in
Canada in over a decade with a notable 5 per cent increase over
2014. Police-reported crime is measured by both the Crime
Severity Index (CSI) which measures both the volume and
severity of crimes reported to the police and the crime rate
which measures the volume of crime reported to the police
per 100,000 population.
