The numbers Alberta separatists don’t want you to see

[chuckChuck]

Sure shit for brains. Except the rate of reported crime is down.

But the cons like to scare everyone with their exaggerations of how bad it is.

A few high profile stories about repeat offenders on parole committing a lot of crime and the uninformed yappers start barking.

But the Cons hardly ever want to do anything about the root causes of crime and want to cut social programs and blame the victims of poverty and homelessness who often have addiction problems. In short "All they need to do is get a job the lazy bastards"

You stick to farming and let the justice system do its work. Missing: Context and causes


"It seems highly likely that these consistent patterns are related to other social factors. Yet one important aspect of the Stats Canada report is that there is virtually no mention of social context. For example, we know that homelessness is increasing substantially in Canada ([url]https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-homeless-numbers-1.7426934[/url]), and that homelessness is a correlate of crime. Homeless people are policed much more actively so are more likely to be charged – for example for living in an encampment. People who have nothing may feel more need to steal in order to survive. To see more shoplifting with more homelessness is not surprising. Similarly, quite a bit of minor crime, such as theft, is committed by people with addiction issues, especially when the only way to feed a habit is through theft."

If you are planning to visit or work at St. Paul's Hospital, local authorities and hospital security advise taking the following precautions:

• Travel Smart: Avoid walking alone, especially after dark. Stick to well-lit areas or travel in groups.

• Be Vigilant: Keep your belongings secure, do not carry large amounts of cash, and remain aware of your surroundings when arriving or leaving the building.

• Use Security Resources: If you are a hospital employee or visitor arriving during late hours, you can ask hospital security for an escort to your vehicle.

You had any appointments at St Paul's recently Chuck?
Don't you live near the once lovely little city of North Battleford?

According to Statistics Canada's victimization data, approximately 71% of all criminal incidents go unreported to the police.

The rates of violent crime are higher in the US with property crimes similar.

And they have the failed get tough on crime approach most wanna be republicans favour.

The rates of crime in both counties are tied to social conditions for certain segments of the population. Not the shortcomings of the justice system.

Most of us are not victims of violent crime except for women who suffer greatly from domestic abuse and sexual assault perpetrated by their heterosexual partners or men they know.

How did we get on to the U.S.?
Are going to talk about Minnesota and the Samali's?

No wannabe Republicans there?

I will stick to growing solar panels instead of buying environmentally damaging Chinese ones
ohhhhhh , and ours love carbon btw

[chuckChuck]

But Furrow you still buy a lot of things from China and sell some of your canola to Chinese consumers.

So your declaration of independence is hollow!

[furrowtickler]

The only thing that’s hollow is what’s between your ears .

[chuckChuck]

So Furrow you won't acknowledge that china plays an important role in our economy?

But you insist that the worlds leader in solar technology is off limits for solar panels, but you still buy a lot of their technology and goods in everything you buy and rely on their demand for our canola.

You are contradicting yourself Furrow! Just because you wont accept that solar is some of the lowest cost electricity in many parts of ther world.

Solar is now so effective and in such great supply that in Australia, customers in some states are going to get 3 hours free a day. That sure doesn't sound like a failure does it?

Only to anti renewable energy fools!

The severity of violent crime is up significantly since 2016.

[chuckChuck]

Police reported violent crime according to the chart, has not increased very much if at all since the early 1990s.

The most under reported violent crime is sexual assault and then probably spousal abuse. Almost all of which are perpetrated by men.

Domestic violence is the largest source of serious violent crime against women that puts them at high risk.

"Domestic violence (intimate partner and family violence) is widely recognized as one of the most underreported violent crimes. In many jurisdictions, such as Canada, data shows that the large majority (up to 80%) of spousal violence incidents are never reported to the police.
