Crime Severity Index

Description

**This data set is no longer compiled by the Ministry of Solicitor General.** Data from the Police Reported Crime Severity Index. Measures changes in Canadian crime severity from year to year. In the index, all crimes are assigned a weight based on their seriousness, based on actual sentences handed down in all provinces and territories. Serious crimes are assigned high weights while less serious offences have lower weights. As a result, serious offences have a greater impact on changes in the index. Data is compared to the 2006 baseline. The data can be accessed from [Statistics Canada](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/cv.action?pid=3510002601).
