Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2019 / by Greg Moreau, Brianna Jaffray and Amelia Armstrong.: CS85-002/40-10E-PDF
"Since 1962, Statistics Canada has collected information on all criminal incidents reported by Canadian police services through its annual Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey. In addition to the UCR, Statistics Canada also collects information on self-reported criminal victimization through the General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians' Safety (Victimization), which is conducted every five years. Unlike the UCR, the GSS on Victimization collects self-reported data which includes incidents that may not have been brought to the attention of the police. These complementary surveys provide a more complete picture of crime and victimization in Canada. This Juristat article presents findings from the 2019 UCR Survey to provide information on police-reported crime across Canada and over time. To publish police-reported crime statistics in a timely manner, this article relies on aggregate data (totals), which are the first crime data available each calendar year"--Page 4.
