Statistical Analysis of Crime Rate across Canada
Community policing is defined as a philosophy, management style, and organizational strategy centered on police-community partnerships and problems solving to address problems of crime and social disorder in society. While community policing was first seen during the Frankpledge System, as it was built from the “ground up”, policing took a turn for the worst to the traditional model of policing, where a hierarchy exists. The traditional model focuses on random, rapid and reactive investigations, which is essentially just slapping a band aid on problems within the community. Using the incident driven way of the traditional model, relationships were not being built with the community, and the real issue wasn’t being solved. Ultimately, policing in Canada returned to the community policing approach and aimed to problem solve while building a rapport with the community they served.
The community policing model benefits society largely as the community, including police officer, citizens, and elected officials, work together to see what the community the needs. Police aim to address the real problem by looking at underlying factors, rather than using clearance rates to make them appear useful.
This paper will explore homicide, break and enter, assault, and robbery rates in Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg in 2011, in order to identify the city with the overall highest crime rate for that year. Once identified, I will suggest problem-solving approaches as per community policing to tackle the real issues of crime and social disorder within that city to reduce the occurrence of a specific crime that they are experiencing. There are 8 major crime indicators that police services use to analyze crime statistics. Homicide, break and enter, assault, and robbery are 4 out of the 8 crime indicators that I will be using to analyze which city has the overall crime rate. Figure 1 exemplifies the number of homicides, robberies, assaults, and break and enters in
