Today is the international day for the ending of violence against women.
Homicidies in Canada 2020
There were 743 homicides in Canada in 2020. The change was plus 56 from 2019, the rate per 1100k of the population was 1.95. The breakdown by sex was 568 male to 171 female; who ahead?
These stats are all homicides, which means survival of violence is a different thing and it is subject to social priorities. ( ie: 1 in 5 were gang-related, down considerably since 2016). If death because of gang activities is effectively addressed, because of priorities then AW violence can also be.
Edmonton Alberta had the highest homicide rate; 3.19 per 100 K, with Montreal the lowest at 0.97. Once again these are all homicide statistics and hide an ugly monster.
Beating deaths were .34 of homicides down from a high of 0.53 in 1993.
British Columbia had 8 more homicides in 2020, Alberta had 39 more.
There were 277 homicides in Canada by firearms nearly half with handguns ( Whos got handguns in Canada?)
You be the judge and not a stat.
NOTE:
Editors note: Statistical data: 2021 Stats Can, why are 4 homicides not listed in either gender?
