What this data can and can’t tell you
- The clearance rate. The clearance rate is the share of incidents police solve, by a charge or otherwise, weighted by seriousness like the index. It isn’t a conviction rate.
- Severity, weighed. Statistics Canada, which publishes the index, attaches a caution: “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.” The number weighs each reported crime by its seriousness before dividing by residents.
- One figure for the city. The figures for Sargent Park are city-wide: neighbourhood counts aren’t published as open data here.
- What 100 means. A reading of 100 is the whole country in 2006. Half of that, 50, means half the severity per resident.
