What this data can and can’t tell you
- What clearance means. A cleared case is one police consider solved. Whether anyone is convicted is a separate matter the rate doesn’t follow.
- An index, not a verdict. The Crime Severity Index adds up police-reported crime, each kind weighted by the sentences courts give it, so one robbery counts for more than many thefts. In Statistics Canada’s words, “The CSI is not an indicator of overall safety and should be interpreted in the broader community context.”
- One figure for the city. The figures for Bellerive are city-wide: neighbourhood counts aren’t published as open data here.
- The index’s scale. Statistics Canada set the national index at 100 for 2006; every figure here is read against that.
