NORTHERN ONTARIO'S COMMUNITY ACCOUNTS
sharing DATA providing INFORMATION developing KNOWLEDGE
The Multi-Variable Regional Comparison Feature is designed for retrieving topics for different geographies to aid in making comparisons. Select any number of variables from a single table, and then specify your table options such as geography type, age group, or gender (if applicable). Results will be shown for all geographies of the selected type and can be easily exported to excel for further work.

The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCSJ), in cooperation with
the policing community, collects police reported crime statistics
through the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR). The
UCR was developed to measure the incidence of crime in Canadian society
and its characteristics. It can represent both the survey instrument
itself or the aggregate form of the UCR data.
Incident
The basis for counting reported crime in the UCR Survey. An incident is
a set of connected events that usually make up a reported occurrence.
The reported incident is used in conjunction with Most Serious Offence
(MSO).
Most Serious Offence (MSO)
Classifies an incident according to the most serious offence committed
during the incident. In categorizing incidents, violent offences always
take precedence over non-violent offences. Offences are then sorted
according to maximum sentence under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Violent Incidents
Involve the application, or threat of application, of force to a person.
Property Incidents
Involve acts with the intent of gaining property but do not involve the use, or threat, of violence against a person.
Traffic Incidents
Involve traffic violations that include death or bodily harm.
Other Criminal Code incidents
Involve other criminal code incidents that are not classified as either violent, property or traffic.
Actual Incidents
When a crime is reported to the police, the incident is recorded as a
“reported” incident. Police then conduct a preliminary investigation to
determine the validity. Occasionally crimes reported to the police prove
to be unfounded. Unfounded incidents are subtracted from the number of
incidents to produce the number of “actual incidents.”
Cleared by Charge
When a police investigation leads to the identification of a suspect, an
“information” is laid against that person (i.e., the person is
charged).
Cleared Otherwise
In some cases police cannot lay an information even if they have
identified a suspect and have enough to support the laying of an
information. Examples include diplomatic immunity, instances when then
the complainant declines to proceed with charges, or cases when the
accused dies.
Persons Charged
Includes the number of people charged (not the number of charges laid)
or recommended for charges by the police. A person who is simultaneously
charged with more than one offence is counted according to the most
serious incident, even if the offences occurred in more than one
incident. In addition, persons may be counted more than once throughout
the year; that is, individuals are counted on each occasion they are
charged by the police. Note: In some cases a criminal incident may be
solved months or even years after it was reported to the police. For
this reason it is possible for the number of cases cleared to be
different than the total reported actual incidents (Statistics Canada,
2004)
Youth
Refer to those aged 12-17 (inclusive).
