What's behind Canada's improving crime stats?

I don't believe you. You gals are all moving here because it is better here.

The Cheetos here taste better.

If Canada is so great why are all the women marrying American men and moving to the US?

Say it isn't so!

From what I understand Asians are flocking there..... which in itself might be helping lower crime.

Yeah, its true. Another trend is that it is easier to immigrate to Canada because they kinda need people and many of them come to Canada and then illegally enter the US. Haitians have been high on that list along with people from Djibuhti (sp?) Both speak French and are welcomed to Quebec, then quickly walk or swim or paddle (Lake Champlain is big and pretty much unprotected) into the USA

Asians (certainly Hong Kongers) are heavily immigrating to Toronto and Vancouver. That's how I met my lovely wife. I was really shocked at the demographics of Toronto when I first dug in to her community.

My wife didn't want anything to do with the US. Especially KY..... still doesn't really. None of her asian friends (minus the financial investor guys) want anything to do with the US. Toronto has become so suited to them, there's no reason to leave. San Franscico, New York, and LA all fall short of the Hong Kong food and culture you can find in Toronto or Vancouver.

Statistics Canada figures released Thursday suggest the crime rate in Canada fell again last year, dropping three per cent between 2011 and 2012. But experts are warning Canadians not to read too much into the numbers.

Governments and police like to take credit when crime statistics improve, but more often than not, such numbers point to broad long-term trends rather than the effect of specific policies, says Anthony Doob, a professor of criminology at the University of Toronto.

The rates of most kinds of police-reported crime have been dropping steadily since about 1991, long before the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper began introducing its "tough-on-crime" polices, such as increased mandatory minimum sentences and restrictions on credit for time served.

The overall crime rate has dropped 26 per cent since 2002, and violent crime is down 17 per cent in that period.

The latest year-to-year drop is "more of the same," says Doob, and is perfectly in line with the decrease in crime that Canada and other countries have been experiencing in the past two decades.

"The one thing that's clear is this is a long-term trend and has nothing to do with any of the so-called crime policies of the government," Doob said.

My wife claims she came for the lobster. Should I believe her, or is it a ploy?
