Yesterday evening, CTV News reported that Stats Canada had released new numbers as it pertains to the Crime Severity Index (CSI) for 2012 - latest year available.

The Index answers such questions as: is the crime coming to the attention of police more or less serious than before; and, is police-reported crime in a given city or province more or less serious than in Canada overall?
