With this fact in mind some crime statistics will now be examined and analyzed to the best of my abilities.

The disconnect between the amount of crime Canadians believe there is, and the truth about its actual levels is linked to how many crimes actually get reported. As indicated on page 36 about how the number of reported crimes divided by total population then multiplied by 100,000 calculates crime rates.
