Supplementary notes

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) takes into account both the volume and the seriousness of crime. In the calculation of the CSI, each offence is assigned a weight, derived from average sentences handed down by criminal courts. The more serious the average sentence, the higher the weight for that offence. As a result, more serious offences have a greater impact on changes in the index. All police-reported Criminal Code offences are included in the CSI. Adapted from Statistics Canada, statcan.gc.ca, 2001 to 2022. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.
