What this data can and can’t tell you
- The clearance rate. Police clear an incident by charging someone, recommending a charge, or closing it another way. The rate weighs serious crimes more, as the index does.
- 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.
- The whole city’s numbers. Its city publishes no open neighbourhood crime figures, so every figure for Windsor Park is the city police’s, for the whole city.
- What 100 means. A reading of 100 is the whole country in 2006. Half of that, 50, means half the severity per resident.
