The violent index fell even though the violent incident count rose; because the index weights each offence by seriousness, a change in the mix of offences can outweigh a change in the count. The weighted clearance rate is the severity-weighted share of incidents solved by police; Leduc’s 29.02 was below Alberta’s 34.91. See how many crimes are solved in Canada.
