Provincial Crime Statistics for 2009

How does the crime rate in your province compare with others and with the national average. Here are the latest (2009) crime rates by province. Those in green are less than the national average, while those in yellow are above the national average. The red entry is the highest. I dealt with overall crime rate trends in an earlier article on September 18th, and drilled down by city on October 1st.

It is clear that the lowest crime rate is in Ontario, and highest is in Saskatchewan. Quebec & New Brunswick are fairly low, the Atlantic provinces are about average and the western provinces are higher than average. I have not included the territories here, in general they have even higher crime rates than the provinces.
