Canadian Murder Hot Spots
 

[quote:457b1]10. Newfoundland. Rate: 0.4 per 100,000.
In Canada last year, there were 582 murders, 29 more than the previous year - that's a 4% increase. There were also 682 attempted murders.

9. Prince Edward Island Rate: 0.7 per 100 thousand.
Most homicides in Canada were committed by someone who knew the victim. Only 15% of murders were perpetrated by strangers, 40% by family. Within families, most murders were committed by spouses usually husbands.

8. Nova Scotia Rate: 1.0 per 100,000
Males account for the majority of accused and victims, and most of those were young men. Good news: risk of becoming a victim declines with age!

7. New Brunswick Rate: 1.2 per 100,000.
Maybe you're safer to drive: 60 percent of homicides occur in residences, just 3 percent in a car.

6. Ontario Rate: 1.5 per 100,000.
Ontario had the highest total number of murders, 178, but by rate is in the bottom half of provinces. Only a third of murders in Canada are committed with handguns, and that number is dropping. The most common murder weapon is knives. About 10 per cent of murders strangle their victims and another 1 per cent use poison.

5. Quebec Rate: 1.6 per 100,000
Quebec is the only province where the murder rate dropped substantially, 16% from 2001, for its lowest homicide rate since 1968.

4. Alberta Rate: 2.2 per 100 thousand
Do you notice a trend here? Generally, the homicide rate is higher in the West than in the East.

3. Saskatchewan Rate: 2.7 per 100 thousand
In Canada in 2002, police solved 77% of reported homicides. However, that that may be an underestimate, because sometimes murders takes more than a year to solve.

2. British Columbia Rate: 3.0 per 100,000 B.C. had the largest increase in homicides of any province, a massive leap from 84 murders to 126. More than half all victims as well as perpetrators had consumed drugs or alcohol prior to the crime being committed.

1. Manitoba Rate: 3.1 homicides per 100,000.
The city of Winnipeg has the highest rate of all cities in Canada. The highest rate in the world is in Russia - but the number two spot is Luxembourg![/quote:457b1]

These numbers dont make any sense. If detroit is 42.6 than Newfoundland would have to be alot closer. Detroit = 402 Newfoundland = 582.

Detroit Population = 951270
Newfoundland Poupulation = 533800

Granted thats a little less than 50%, but still theres more than a 50% gap between .4 and 42.6

It said in CANADA, there were 582 murders...not in Newfoundland.
