The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS), in co-operation with the policing community, collects police-reported crime statistics through the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR). The UCR Survey was designed to measure the incidence of crime in Canadian society and its characteristics. This dataset contains specific incident rates for crime in the City of Montreal at the level of Census Tract.
The dataset includes a "population at risk" field for each census tract. Incident rates are available for the following crime categories: property crime, drug offences, violent crime, other offences, sexual assault, criminal harassment, homicide, break and enter, mischief, prostitution, assaults, theft under $5000, robbery, and motor vehicle theft.
The data are provided in .xls tabular format. The data can be mapped using Statistics Canada Census 2006 shapefiles for census tracts in the City of Montreal (available from the Library).
