Homicide in Canada, 2010

Homicide in Canada is a relatively rare event. In 2010, there were 554 homicides in Canada.

I found this topic interesting because, they say that at least 56 fewer homicides accurred in 2010 than 2009. They also say that the overall drop in gomicides was driven largely by fewer homicides in the western part of the country, primarily in British Columbia. With fewer homicides in 2010 than 2009, the rate in British Columbia (1.83) fell 31% and reaches its lowest point since the mid- 1960's.
