CRIME SEVERITY INDEX New method of quantifying crime Attaches higher weights to major crimes and lower
weights to minor crimes It is a rate per population Includes drugs and criminal traffic offences Accommodates more than one crime per incident Accommodates more than one victim per violent
incident Statistics Canada’s choice for measuring crime Easy to monitor changes in crime over time
Three measures o Overall Crime Severity Indexo Violent Crime Severity Indexo Non-Violent Crime Severity Index
