As any Law and Order addict knows, there are two groups that protect and represent the people, “the police who investigate crimes, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.” These are not their stories, however.
Instead, we’re here to focus on the nastier side of that story, namely, the cities where these crimes occur. Violent crime rates are a huge factor when determining where you want to move or visit, and understandably so. Washington D.C., Chicago and Detroit years had to fight against their public image as some of the most violent and crime-ridden areas in the United States, with notable improvements in several areas.
As the say, the first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one, so let this serve less as a list for public province shaming as a rehabilitative one.
That being said, let’s dive in and take a look at “the most violent cities in Canada,” according to the crime severity index.
Edmonton: Edmonton has been seeing some tough times as of late—and we’re not just talking about the Oilers. (Really, how many first round draft picks are they going to get?) Unfortunately, Edmonton’s crime rate is about as stagnant as their hockey team. The city has had a persistent problem with violent crime, especially sex-based crimes such as sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, and sexual violations against children. That being said, Edmonton’s overall crime index rating is “only” 89.7—far lower than the others on this list.
Regina: Regina, ranks rather highly (or lowly, depending on how you look at it) when it comes to overall violent crime in Canada. It’s been trading places with Saskatoon the past few years, checking in with a 105.8 crime index rating. On the one hand, that’s definitely far too high, and hurts what is otherwise one of the more underrated settlement destinations in Canada. On the other hand, however, as Regina ranks just below Saskatoon this year, the latter’s loss is the former’s gain, as it can now report a “drop” in crime, at least in that context. Let’s hope that continues into the future, rather than the rumours of potential spikes that have been reported in the last year.
Saskatoon: Saskatoon’s placement on this list is something of a good news/bad news situation…let’s get the latter out of the way first, so we can end this section on a good note. To begin with, yes, with a violent crime index rating of 109.9. The city has flipped back and forth with Regina (see above) in the overall rankings, and has sometimes even found itself at the ignominious “top” of the standings. In the NHL, that wins you the Presidents’ Trophy. In the war on crime, that wins you an incredible amount of scrutiny. Thankfully, however, there are signs that Saskatoon is trying hard indeed to improve its record and reputation. In 2013, the mayor announced that overall violent crime in Saskatoon had dropped 9%, and there are hopes that that trend can continue.
