6 ABOUT THIS REPORT IN THIS REPORT This report contains a summary of crime statistics for York Regional Police pertaining to incidents reported between January 1 and December 31, A oneyear and five-year comparison is made. Miscellaneous statistics are also included. HOW ARE CRIMES COUNTED? York Regional Police publishes crime statistics based on the number of reported violations using the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR2) methodology. UCR2 classifies incidents according to the four most serious violations in the incident (generally the violations which carry the longest maximum sentences under the Criminal Code). Violent incidents are classified differently from other types of crime. For violent crime, a separate incident is recorded for each victim. In categorizing incidents, violent violations always take precedence over non-violent violations. For the purposes of this report, all violations within an incident are included and robbery violations are counted per incident. All data in this report is based on reported crimes and represents a snapshot at the time of extraction from the records management system at year-end. Unless otherwise noted, any updates or revisions to data for the years previous to 2014 are not reflected in this report. MAKING COMPARISONS Unless otherwise noted, all crime statistics in this report are compiled using the all violations methodology. These statistics should not be compared with those provided by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS), a division of Statistics Canada. This published data measures only the most serious offence related to an incident. In addition, the CCJS includes the number of offences reported by the Toronto North Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with York Regional Police s crime statistics. The CCJS data should be used for comparisons between policing jurisdictions as all data is compiled using the same reporting methodology. TERMINOLOGY totals include only those incidents for which an occurrence report was made and have been substantiated through police investigation. ATM robberies include robberies at ATM machines within financial institutions or at stand-alone locations where the victim is approached and forced to withdraw money or is robbed as they are leaving the machine. Page 1

7 Calls to Communications Bureau include all telephone calls, 911 and nonemergency, made by members of the public. Car Jacking includes robberies where the intent is to steal a motor vehicle with the use or threat of violence against the person(s) in care or control of that vehicle. Citizen Generated Calls for service occur when a citizen requests or requires a police response of any kind. Requests are received by, but not limited to, 911 telephone calls, non-emergency telephone calls, walk-in requests, online reports, or requests via other agencies. Clearance rates are calculated by the number of violations cleared by charge or otherwise (persons processed by other means) divided by the number of violations. These violations may not necessarily have occurred during the reporting period but some time prior. Crime rates are expressed as a rate per population using year-end population estimates supplied by the York Region Planning and Development Services Department and have been rounded to two decimals. Criminal incident refers to a set of connected events which usually constitute an occurrence report. One incident can include more than one violation. Deposit robberies include robberies where a business deposit is stolen from a person using force. Financial robberies include robberies occurring at banks, credit unions, or involving armoured cars. Hate crime means a criminal offence committed against a person or property which is motivated by the offender s bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor. Home invasion is an intrusion into a residence with the intent of robbing the occupants therein. Offence is defined as a statistical fact for aggregate-based reporting. This terminology is not used in incident-based reporting. Other robberies include robberies that do not meet the criteria for any of the other categories. Examples include hotel robberies, robberies by uninvited guests at house parties, and break and enter occurrences that result in a robbery occurring. Retail robberies include robberies occurring at retail or commercial premises including convenience stores, restaurants/fast food establishments, massage parlours, gas stations, and donut/coffee shops.
