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.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the Crime Severity Index for Canada and Provinces, 1998 to 2014. Crime Severity Index is a measure of the seriousness of police-reported crime. It covers all Criminal Code violations including traffic, as well as drug violations and violations of all Federal Statutes. Each criminal offence is weighted based on sentences given. 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.

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.

This act protects Alberta’s victims of crime. It outlines the rights victims have such as the right to be given information on the criminal justice system, information on the status of an investigation and the opportunity to give the court a victim impact statement.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the violent and household victimization rates for Canada and provinces for the year 2004, 2009 and 2014. The rate is based on incidence per 1,000 population in each province. The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) utilizes the results of the General Social Survey (GSS) to measure self-reported victimization. The GSS gathers information on social trends over time and measures the wellbeing of Canadians. The victimization portion of the survey is designed to look at the nature of criminal victimization in Canada. The 2014 GSS had 33,127 respondents aged 15 and older living in the 10 provinces. The cycle on victimization, which is conducted every five years, collects information on personal accounts of criminal victimization for eight crime types: sexual assault, robbery, physical assault, break and enter, theft of motor vehicles or parts, theft of household property, vandalism and theft of personal property. This Alberta Official Statistic includes violent crime (sexual assault, robbery, physical assault) and household crime (breaking and entering, theft of motor vehicles or parts, theft of household property, vandalism). Comparisons among provinces and time periods should be made with caution as not all differences between provincial estimates are statistically significant.
