ABOUT THIS REPORT
IN THIS REPORT
This report contains a summary of crime statistics for York Regional Police pertaining to incidents reported between January 1st and December 31st, 2004. A one year and five year comparison is made. Miscellaneous statistics are also included.
HOW ARE CRIMES COUNTED?
York Regional Police publish crime statistics based on the number of reported violations (Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)). Incident-based UCR classifies incidents according to the four most serious violations in the incident (generally the violations which carry the longest maximum sentences under the Criminal Code). Violent incidents (except robbery) are classified differently from other types of crime. For violent crime, a separate incident is recorded for each victim. Robbery, however is counted as if it were a non- violent crime in order to avoid inflating the number of incidents. In categorizing incidents, violent violations always take precedence over non-violent violations.
MAKING COMPARISONS
Unless otherwise noted, all statistics in this report are compiled using Incident- based reporting methodology. These statistics should not be compared with those provided by Statistics Canada who converts the data received to an Aggregate-based UCR format which measures only the most serious offence related to an incident. In addition, Statistics Canada includes the number of offences reported by the Toronto North Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with York Regional Police’s crime statistics.
Statistics Canada data should be used for comparisons between policing jurisdictions because all data is compiled using the Aggregate-based reporting methodology.
TERMINOLOGY
Actual totals include only those incidents for which an occurrence report was made and have been substantiated through police investigation.
Clearance rates are calculated by the number of violations cleared by charge or otherwise (persons processed by other means) divided by the number of violations. These violations may not necessarily have occurred during the reporting period but some time prior.
York Regional Police 2004 Annual Statistical Report Page 1
Crime rates are expressed as a rate per 100,000 population using year-end population estimates supplied by York Region Planning and Development Services Department and have been rounded to two decimals.
Criminal incident refers to a set of connected events which usually constitute an occurrence report. One incident can include more than one violation.
Offence is defined as a statistical fact for Aggregate-based reporting. This terminology is not used in Incident-based reporting.
Violation refers to a contravention of the Criminal Code, Federal, or Provincial Statutes.
Young Person refers to a person aged 12 - 17 years inclusive (Youth Criminal Justice Act).
Youth refers to a person under the age of 18 years.
Youth crime refers to the number of youths charged or processed by other means for committing a criminal offence.

CHANGES IN REPORTING METHODOLOGY
In March 2000, Bill C-202 received royal assent amending the Criminal Code by making it an offence to operate a motor vehicle while being pursued by a peace officer in order to evade the peace officer and fail to stop the vehicle as soon as it is reasonable in the circumstances. To correspond with this, Statistics Canada implemented violation codes relating to these Criminal Code sections. These violation codes fall under the dangerous operation category.
In December 2001, Bill C-24 received royal assent amending the Criminal Code by introducing three new offences to fight organized crime. To correspond with this, Statistics Canada implemented violation codes relating to organized crime. These violations are included in the “Other Criminal Code (Part B)” category.
In December 2001, Bill C-36 received royal assent amending the Criminal Code, the Proceeds of Crime (money laundering) Act, and a number of other Acts, in order to combat terrorism. To correspond with this, Statistics Canada implemented new violation codes relating to terrorist activity. These violations are included in the “Other Criminal Code (Part B)” category.
On January 1, 2002, a change was implemented to include motor vehicle collisions when a party left the scene of the accident, but was not apprehended, as a Criminal Code violation. This only includes collisions which constitute an offence contrary to the Criminal Code. This change of reporting methodology is in accordance with other police services’ practices.
Beginning in 2002, all police services in Canada began sending incidents of impaired driving where a road-side suspension was issued by police (rather than laying a charge) to drivers found to have a blood-alcohol reading at or slightly above the legal limit. These violations where not counted as Criminal Code offences prior to 2002.
The delivery of 9-1-1 service to the residents of York Region began in 1994 with a Bell Canada operator in Ottawa answering all calls to 9-1-1 from within York Region. The calls would then be transferred to an appropriate emergency response agency within York Region. In April 2001, an application was made by Bell Canada to the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission
York Regional Police 2004 Annual Statistical Report Page 5
(CRTC) to withdraw this service. In June 2001, Regional Council authorized Regional staff to directly provide 9-1-1 emergency in conjunction with York Regional Police. On April 2, 2002, 9-1-1 call answering was transferred to the Region of York from Bell Canada with York Regional Police as the first point of reception for 9-1-1 calls.
In June 2002, Bill C-15A, an act to amend the Criminal Code with respect to the sexual exploitation of children on the internet, received royal assent. The new amendments make it an offence to communicate with children via a computer system for the purpose of facilitating or committing certain sexual offences, such as child luring or abduction. To correspond with this, Statistics Canada implemented a violation code which is included in the “Other Criminal Code (Part A)” category.
On April 1, 2003, the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) came into force, repealing and replacing the Young Offenders Act.
On May 16, 2003, Mr. Justice Rogin of the Superior Court of Ontario released his judgment in the matter of R. v. J.P. and held that section 4(1) of the Controlled Drug and Substances Act (simple possession), as it applied to marihuana only, was invalid. Due to this ruling, police were thereafter unable to lay charges relating to simple possession of marihuana. On October 7, 2003, the Court of Appeal ruled that “the prohibition against possession of marihuana in s. 4 is in force” from that date forward.
On October 4, 2004, the Community Resource Centre (CRC) opened its doors at Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill. Motor vehicle collisions or minor offences, such as theft or damage under $1000 and harassing telephone calls, can be reported by either attending the CRC or reporting on-line via the internet.
