Good news, Canada. Your national crime rate has fallen to the lowest in a quarter-century.
While the steady increase in violent crime might be alarming, feel some consolation that there are 10% homicides than there were a year ago.
I wonder what happened around 1990 to create that spike in crime rates, and if the drop in crime rates can be accounted for by an aging population.
