severity <strong>of</strong> policereported<br />
violent crime<br />
also dropped in 2008. A<br />
2% drop in common assaults,<br />
<strong>the</strong> highest volume<br />
violent <strong>of</strong>fence, led<br />
to a 2% reduction in <strong>the</strong><br />
violent crime rate. The<br />

The national homicide<br />
rate increased slightly in<br />
2008 (+2%), <strong>the</strong> third<br />
increase in <strong>the</strong> past five<br />
years. Police reported<br />
611 homicide victims,<br />
17 more than in 2007.<br />
Increases in British Columbia<br />
and Alberta contributed<br />
to <strong>the</strong> overall<br />
rise.<br />
