This statistic shows Canada's reported motor vehicle theft rate from 2000 to 2023. There were about 286.46 motor vehicle thefts per 100,000 residents in Canada in 2021. Motor Vehicle TheftMotor vehicle theft, a subset of property crime, is the theft or attempted theft of any self-propelled land vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs. Motor vehicles are typically stolen for resale and parts after being stripped down, or for joy rides, short term thefts for the sole purpose of entertainment. Motor vehicle theft has been on the decline for some years. It follows the downward trend of all property crime in Canada, which is down 40 percent since 2000. It is thought one of the primary reasons for the decline in motor vehicle thefts is better anti-theft technology in newer cars, such as engine immobilizers, which make it very difficult to steal without the ignition key. In fact, all of the vehicles on Insurance Bureau of Canada’s list of top ten most stolen automobiles predate legislation that went into effect in 2007 requiring new cars sold in Canada to be equipped with an engine immobilizer.

GapMaps offers advanced and reliable Crime Risk Location Data sourced from Applied Geographic Solutions (AGS), a trusted provider of premium demographic insights with over 20 years of experience. Leveraged by thousands of businesses, AGS use advanced statistical methodologies and a rolling seven-year database of FBI and local agency statistics to provide a highly accurate view of the relative risk of specific crime types for any geographic area empowering organizations to make informed decisions in areas such as insurance, urban planning, and real estate.

The AGS Crime Risk dataset includes: - Standardised indexes for a range of serious crimes against both persons and property such as murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft - Aggregate measures of crime risk, including crimes against persons, crimes against property, and overall crime risk, offering a comprehensive overview of an area’s safety. - 5-Year Projections: Added in 2020, these projections enhance the dataset by forecasting future crime risks, providing valuable insights for long-term planning. - High-Resolution Data: Crime risk indexes are available at the block group level, allowing insurers to identify variations in crime risk across specific land uses such as motor vehicle theft from parking structures.

Use cases: 1. Insurance underwriting and risk mitigation. 2. Evaluating the security measures needed to protect employees and customers at retail facilities. 3. The study of the effects of neighborhood crime on wellness and health care outcomes.

Methodology: Crime is tracked for multiple years using both FBI aggregate crime reports and for many parts of the country at the individual incident level. A complex set of statistical models are used to estimate and forecast risk of each individual crime type by using land use data in conjunction with demographic and business characteristics.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the violent crime rates for Canada and provinces for the years from 1998 to 2014. The rate is based on the incidence of violent crime per 100,000 population in each province. The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS), in co-operation with the policing community, collects police-reported crime statistics through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey. The UCR Survey was designed to measure the incidence of crime in Canadian society and its characteristics. UCR data reflect reported crime that has been substantiated by police. Information collected by the survey includes the number of criminal incidents, the clearance status of those incidents and persons-charged information. The UCR Survey produces a continuous historical record of crime and traffic statistics reported by every police agency in Canada since 1962. In 1988, a new version of the survey (UCR3) was created, which is referred to as the "incident-based" survey. It captures microdata on characteristics of incidents, victims and accused. Data from the UCR Survey provide key information for crime analysis, resource planning and program development for the policing community. Municipal and provincial governments use the data to aid decisions about the distribution of police resources, definitions of provincial standards and for comparisons with other departments and provinces. To the federal government, the UCR survey provides information for policy and legislative development, evaluation of new legislative initiatives, and international comparisons. To the public, the UCR survey offers information on the nature and extent of police-reported crime and crime trends in Canada. As well, media, academics and researchers use these data to examine specific issues about crime.

The rate of incidents of identity theft in Canada decreased by 4.2 incidents (-24.01 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. Nevertheless, the last two years recorded a significant higher rate of incidents than the preceding years.

This statistic shows the rate of property crimes in Canada in 2023, by type of crime. There were 817.34 reported mischief incidents per 100,000 residents in Canada in 2023.

This statistic shows the Crime Severity Index in Canada for 2023, by province. In 2023, the Crime Severity Index in the Northwest Territories stood at 473.72. Crime Severity IndexThe Crime Severity Index (CSI) was developed by Statistics Canada and first released in 2009. Its creation was meant to address the shortcomings of the traditionally measured crime rate which is simply a count of all crimes per 1,000 people. In contrast, the CSI is a measure of all crimes, weighted by seriousness (length of judicial sentencing). One of the shortcomings of the standard crime rate is that a petty theft receives the same weight as more serious crimes like murder and rape. Compounding this is the fact that minor violations are far more numerous than severe crimes. The consequence is that fluctuations in the number of minor crimes greatly impact the crime rate, while fluctuations of more serious crimes will go relatively unnoticed. In this scenario it would be possible for minor crimes to be decreasing and serious crimes to be increasing with the net effect of the overall crime rate dropping and portraying an inaccurate picture of crime and public safety. Although the annual trend has been the same between the CSI and the standard crime rate a look at the details reveals differences. For instance, in 2023, Newfoundland and Labrador was the sixth most violent province in Canada based on the standard violent crime rate but was only the seventh most violent province in Canada based on the violent crime severity index. This would indicate that the majority of violent crime in the province is of a less serious nature.

The data contains the number of criminal incidents, the clearance status of those incidents and persons-charged, by MCYS region (Central, East, North, Toronto, West, Other). The survey was designed to measure the incidence of crime in our society and its characteristics.
