It is clear that both violent crime and property crime have been decreasing for the past decade or more. There was a slight increase in other crimes until 2004 but that has since been decreasing as well. Unfortunately I can't find Stockwell Day's unreported crime statistics to add to my table, perhaps he could crayon it in for us.
Violent crime is homicide, assault, sexual assault, abduction, kidnapping, extortion, harassment, threats, unlawful pointing or discharge of a firearm, robbery, etc. Property crimes are break & enter, theft, possession of stolen property, fraud, mischief, arson, etc. Other crimes include counterfeiting, weapons violations, child pornography, prostitution, disturbing the peace, administration of justice violations, etc. You can find the details for the past two years in the Police-reported crime for selected offences.
