Homicide rate hits highest level since 1996

globeandmail.com : Homicide rate hits highest level since 1996: "There were more homicides -- notably in Edmonton -- more robberies and more armed assaults, but overall crime was down 5 per cent in 2005. That's the distinctly mixed picture visible in the newest annual snapshot of Canadian lawbreaking.

The homicide rate rose by 4 per cent in 2005, Statistics Canada reported yesterday."
