About this data

How to read this measureThe Crime Severity Index is not an indicator of overall safety. 2019 is the first full year under revised reporting standards; compare earlier years with caution. Revised 2021 and 2022 data use updated crime weights. The previous year may be revised at each release. Northwest Territories includes Nunavut in 1998; they are separate from 1999.

How this answer was calculatedThe headline compares the first and last observations shown. Overall change is the last index value minus the first and is reported in index points; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
