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. Each incident counts by its seriousness, judged from court sentences, and the total is set per resident. As Statistics Canada puts it, “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
- City-wide figures. Its city publishes no open neighbourhood crime figures, so every figure for Springbrook 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.
