When we're talking about different stats on crimes, many of them come from how many are being actually reported by people. That's why I was curious. If anyone has any information that you come across that might help me as to reporting levels or anything, it would be really helpful.
In the Statistics Canada police-reported crime statistics for 2017, there were two stats, and I'm going to put both of them to you just because I'm running out of time. If you have anything that you can comment on....
The first was on page 3. The report says that “Violent, property and other crime all decreased in rural areas while they increased in urban areas.”
The other statistic that came from Statistics Canada was about firearms-related violent crime. It said, “Most of the increase in the number of incidents of firearm-specific violent offences in Canada occurred outside of CMAs.” I believe that refers to concentrated metropolitan areas.
Do you have anything to comment about those two stats in the most recent reports?
