Document Summary

Activity 3. 3: fbi statistics for 2012 indicated that 14,827 individuals in the united. The number of homicides in canada is a much smaller number than. 14,827 there were a total of 594 homicides in 2007. Since the population of the united states is higher than canada the number of rate homicides are bound to be higher: the fbi reports the murder rate for 2012 as 4. 7 per 100,000 people. Using the formula, calculate the homicide rate for canada and indicate how it compares to the homicide rate for the united states. (hint: the population at risk is the population of canada in 2012). A crime rate is calculated by multiplying the number of reported crimes by the total population divided by 100,000. Homicide rate = 543/ (34. 75 million/100,000) = 1. 56. 2012, in what year did canada"s homicide rate peak? (hint: when was it at its highest?)
