Key stats

What these numbers mean

The 'Other' category dominates Amherstburg's 2016 crime data, accounting for nearly four out of every five reported incidents. This high proportion suggests the category includes a wide array of offences not classified under more specific headings. While theft and mischief are present, their counts are dwarfed by the 'Other' total, indicating that most reported crime in this period fell outside the typical property or violent crime categories.
