Questions about safety in Bathurst
Is Bathurst safe?
Police figures can’t answer that for Bathurst: it has none of its own. Where places nearby have figures, they are the closest guide, though a neighbour can differ a lot.
What is the Crime Severity Index?
Rather than counting incidents, it weighs them, so a robbery moves it far more than a shoplifting. Statistics Canada scales it to 100 for Canada in 2006.
