The non-violent crime severity index — which includes such crimes as property and drug offences — dropped six per cent last year, following a nine per cent increase from 2021 to 2023. Among the factors driving that decline was a 17 per cent drop in the rate of motor vehicle theft since 2023, to 239 incidents per 100,000 people.

The federal government convened a national summit on fighting auto theft last year and published a plan to curb the problem. Liam McGuinty, vice-president of strategy at the Insurance Bureau of Canada, said 'it's pretty clear that we're starting to gain traction' in the battle against auto theft, due to concerted efforts by law enforcement and government. 'But it's not time to rest on our laurels,' he said. 'Overall, theft rates might be down year over year, but the number of theft claims, and the value of those claims, is still much higher than it was just a few years ago.' The crime severity index was developed to address the limitations of a police-reported crime rate that is driven by high-volume — but less serious — offences. More serious crimes are assigned higher weights in the index, while less serious crimes are assigned lower weights. As a result, more serious crimes have a greater effect on the index relative to their volume. Statistics Canada said the violent crime severity index decreased one per cent in 2024 and had a comparatively smaller effect than non-violent crime on the overall picture. The violent crime index had risen for three previous consecutive years and increased 15 per cent over that period. The homicide rate declined four per cent in 2024 to 1.91 homicides per 100,000 people, down from 1.99 the previous year, Statistics Canada said. Police reported 788 homicides in 2024, eight fewer than a year earlier. There were 28 more women homicide victims in 2024 than a year earlier, and 34 fewer men, the agency said. There was also a large increase in the proportion of women who were killed by a spouse or intimate partner, rising to 42 per cent of women victims in 2024 from 32 per cent in 2023.
