Note(s):
A census metropolitan area refers to a large urban core (at least 100,000 population)
combined with adjacent urban and rural areas that have a high degree of economic
and social integration. A census metropolitan area typically comprises more
than one police service. Census metropolitan area populations have been adjusted
to follow policing boundaries. Excludes Oshawa due to the incongruity between
police service jurisdictional boundaries and census metropolitan area boundaries.
Data reflect victim counts from the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting
Survey representing 98% of the population of Canada in 2008. Includes
victims under 18 years of age. Excludes incidents where the age
and/or sex of the victim was unknown. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population
under 18 years of age for the geographic areas policed by the Incident-based
Uniform Crime Reporting Survey respondents.
