What these numbers mean

Assault incidents in Brockville in 2018 were relatively low compared to other crime categories, accounting for only 2.5% of the city's total reported crimes. The 19 incidents place assault as the fourth most common category, behind 'Other,' theft, and mischief. The limited data window (January to March 2018) makes it difficult to draw broader trends, but the numbers suggest assault is not a dominant crime type in the city. The lack of year-over-year data also means no trends can be inferred.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Category includes a range: A single category groups incidents of varying severity (e.g. "assault" spans minor altercations through serious assault). The count alone does not indicate severity.
Data window: 2018-01-21 to 2018-03-22.
