The principal behind the Crime Severity Index (CSI) was to measure the seriousness of crime reported to the police year to year by Statistics Canada. A CSI Data Table for Canada, provinces, territories, and Census Metropolitan Areas is available in Table 35-10-0026-01 (since 1998). Additional CSI Data Tables at the provincial (Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia), Territories, and Atlantic provinces are also available since 1998. Data for Crime Severity Index for population over 10000 (CSI_over10000) was first published by Statistics Canada in 2009. However, CSI_over10000 data is not publicly available from Statistics Canada website. For more information on the CSI, see Wallace et al. (2009) "Measuring Crime in Canada: Introducing the Crime Severity Index and Improvements to the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey". Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 85-004-X.
