Maclean's once again revealed its list of "the most dangerous places in Canada" and Campbell River ranked it 88th.

"We examined 237 urban centers across the country and calculated the difference between their most recent crime severity indexes – a measure used by Statistics Canada to take into account the severity and number of crimes – and their severity scores. crime five years ago, "says Claire Bronwell, author of the article on the exploder.

"While crime has declined across Canada in the last five years, the results show that many communities have had a very different experience," she said.

Campbell River is one of those communities.

In the last five years, according to the Maclean's Of note, in Campbell River, crime overall has increased slightly, including the rate of badual badault, above the national average of 56.56 cases per 100,000 population. In Campbell River, the rate is 63.71 per 100,000 population.

We are also above the national average for firearms offenses, where we are at 9.1 incidents per 100,000 population, compared to a Canadian average of 6.79.

However, the number of badual badaults has increased across the country, an increase Maclean's cited as being stimulated not necessarily by an increase in aggression, but by "a significant increase in badual badault reported to the police during a year of widespread attention to the #MeToo movement".

Campbell River is also well above the national average for impaired driving offenses. The average rate in Canada is 194.31 per 100,000 population, while we are at 263.94.

And it's not just adults who have problems here in Campbell River. According to the report, the average number of offenses under the Youth Criminal Justice Act across Canada is 16.74 per 100,000 population. In Campbell River, we are over 300% of the average of 63.71.

Another good thing about the report is that Campbell River – at least the communities on the list – is safer than many other places on Vancouver Island.

Central Saanich, Comox, Port Alberni and Courtenay all fared Campbell River on the list, with Courtenay in 7th place.

Courtenay's impaired driving incidents have reached 380.02 per 100,000 population, almost twice the national average, and its drug trafficking or production rates are also well above the national average. Courtenay also has a higher break-in rate and a slightly higher robbery rate than Campbell River, although its number of offenses under the Youth Criminal Justice Act is much lower.
