Notes:
1. As of 1992, data on Municipal By-Law incidents are not available. When comparing previous years to 1992 or later, Municipal By-Law data must be excluded. As of 1995, data on Provincial Statutes are not available. When comparing previous years to 1995, Provincial Statutes data must be excluded. As of 1997, counts for all respondents include Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) cases occurring within the respondent's jurisdiction. Prior to 1997, Woodstock, Vancouver and ten other municipal police forces in British Columbia were the only respondents.
2. In 1992, Metropolitan Toronto Police converted to the revised Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey. The Metropolitan Toronto Police has historically reported their crime data to UCR Survey according to a multiple offence scoring rule. Therefore, caution should be used when comparing current data to 1991 or earlier years for Toronto, Ontario and Canada. Adolescents and children who are not charged are not counted in the person counts entitled informal or not charged in Toronto data. For further information, readers should refer to the report: Summary of Historical Adjustments to Crime Data for Ontario 1977-2000.
3. Between 1977 and 1984, an offence code was assigned to Juvenile Delinquents Act. The offence code was not used from 1985 to 1998. In 1999, the Firearms Act has been re-assigned the same offence code. Comparisons over time for this offence code should not be made.
4. Data for 2001 include estimates for 3 months for Vancouver Police and 2 months for Port Moody Police, covering the phase-in period required for a new records management system. In addition, from September 2000 to September 2001, as a result of labour action, there were decreases in the number of crimes reported to the Vancouver Police Department for certain offences. As a result, the number of Criminal Code offences reported by Vancouver were affected during this period.
5. From 1992 to 1999 (inclusive), all Ontario mischief infractions are reported in the category mischief 'under'.
6. Prior to 1993, the Calgary Police Service did not apply the most serious offence rule when reporting traffic counts. Consequently, traffic data are duplicate counts in earlier years. Prior to 1997, the Calgary Police Service coded any persons directed to alternative measures programs as persons charged or recommended for charges. Therefore, analysis of trends in persons charged and not charged should be done with caution.
7. In 1999, Nunavut, which comprises the eastern part of the old Northwest Territories, officially became a Canadian territory. This table displays information only for the Northwest Territories (excluding Nunavut) after 1999. For data prior to 1999, please refer to Northwest Territories including Nunavut.
8. In 1999, Nunavut, which comprises the eastern part of the old Northwest Territories, officially became a Canadian territory. This table displays information only for Nunavut after 1999. For data prior to 1999, please refer to Northwest Territories including Nunavut.
9. Rates for adult crime are based on the adult population (ages 18 and over) and rates for youth crime are based on youth population (between ages 12 and 17). The adult crime rate will generally be smaller compared to the youth crime rate, since the age range for the adult crime rate includes the elderly, who generally have very low rates of offending.
10. Any increase in 'disturbing the peace' may be, in part, attributable to a national data quality initiative undertaken by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to properly account for the types of offences that are aggregated under this offence.
11. Total persons charged is the total of 'adults charged' and 'youth charged'.
12. The rate of total persons charged (per 100,000) is calculated by using the total of adult (18 years of age and over) and youth population (12 to 17 years of age) as the base.
13. During the revision of the 2001 data for the province of Ontario, a discrepancy in methodology applied by the forces in the province using the Ontario Municipal and Provincial Police Automated Co-operative (OMPPAC) system was detected. These forces report approximately one-third of the total criminal incidents for the province and include the Ontario Provincial Police and about 60 small and mid-sized municipal forces. This discrepancy resulted in an over-count of less serious criminal incidents. A similar problem with data from Toronto Police was detected in 1992. During 2003 and 2004, the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) consulted with affected police services and analyzed both historical aggregate Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR) data and more recent Incident based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR2) microdata to determine the impact of this over-reporting. The effect at the Canada level was, on average, 1% per year from 1977 to 2000. This over-counting peaked in 1991, where it was estimated that the total crime rate for the country was over-estimated by approximately 1.8%. However, the overall historical trend changed very little. The impact in Ontario is more noticeable, but the overall trend is still very similar. On average, the effect was 2% to 3% per year, with the biggest change occurring in 1991, where the Ontario crime rate is 5% lower as a result of the adjustment. For further information, readers should refer to the report: Summary of Historical Adjustments to Crime Data for Ontario 1977-2000.
14. As a result of ongoing investigations in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, there were 5 homicides reported in the Vancouver census metropolitan area (CMA) total for 2004, 7 reported in the total for 2003 and 15 in the total for 2002 all of which occurred in previous years. Homicides are counted according to the year in which police file the report.
15. Crime data from April to December 2004 for Winnipeg are estimates (except for homicide and motor vehicle theft) due to the implementation of a new records management system. Therefore please use caution when comparing these data with prior years.
16. In 2004, Vancouver police service changed their scoring procedures for reporting impaired driving incidents to include all incidents of impaired driving, not just those resulting in a charge being laid, meaning that incidents cleared by other means, (for example, roadside suspension) are now included. This resulted in almost 1,900 additional incidents being reported in 2004 compared to 2003. Therefore, please use caution when comparing these data with prior years.
17. Richmond Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) moved from the aggregate to the microdata Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey in 2003. A lack of functionality within their record management systems to distinguish between established and un-established offences has affected Richmond's crime reporting. This is having the net effect of artificially inflating their crime rate and lowering their clearance rate.
18. A revision of populations for all years was applied to this table in 2005. Please note crime rates may have been affected and that caution should be used when comparing data to any previous version of this table.
19. A revision of populations for 2004 to 2006 was applied to this table in 2007. Please note crime rates may have been affected and that caution should be used when comparing data to any previous version of this table.
20. Part of the 2007 increase in crime in St. John's and Saint John can be attributed to changes in police reporting practices rather than actual increases in criminal activity.
21. Approximately half of the vehicle thefts in Winnipeg in 2007 were attempts, higher than the national average of about 15%. Both the decrease in the number of completed vehicle thefts in Winnipeg, as well as the increase in attempted thefts, may be attributed to the new provincial requirement for specific high-risk vehicles to be equipped with immobilizers, rendering these vehicles much more difficult to steal.
