Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2009 / by Mia Dauvergne and John Turner.: CS85-002/30-9E-PDF

"In Canada, crime is measured using data collected by two Statistics Canada surveys: police-reported data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey and victim-reported data through the General Social Survey. This report presents findings from the 2009 UCR Survey, an annual survey of all criminal incidents known to, and substantiated by, Canadian police services. The survey collects data on about 200 individual criminal offences. These data conform to a nationally-approved set of common crime categories and definitions and have been systematically reported by police services and submitted to Statistics Canada each year since 1962. Counts for each offence are based on the most serious offence in an incident. The report examines trends in the severity and volume of both overall and violent crime at the national, provincial/territorial and census metropolitan area levels"--Page 7.
