What these numbers mean

Fraud in Brockville represents a small but notable portion of the city's crime data, ranking 5th among eight categories. The 18 incidents in 2018 are relatively low compared to more prevalent crimes like 'Other' and 'Theft.' However, the data covers only a partial window from January to March, making it difficult to draw broader conclusions about annual trends. The absence of year-over-year data further limits trend analysis.

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.
