POST-1
The report “Homicide in Canada, 2022” entails surprising trends corresponding to crime in Canada. A particularly notable trend was the significant increase in homicides in Manitoba. An increase from 4.45 homicides per 100,000 population to 6.24 homicides per 100,000 population in a matter of one year is concerning. This is a 40% increase, which can suggest a higher concern for violence in Manitoba. Conversely, Ontario only saw a 1% increase in homicide, which was unexpected. Due to its large cities and extensive population, I would have thought Ontario’s homicide rate would be the highest compared to the rest of the provinces or would have at least seen a more significant increase than 1%. A standout trend was the increase in the number of youths accused of homicide. In one year, going from 33 youths charged with homicide to 90 can raise concern amongst society. Minus knowing that one in five youths accused of homicide was involved in a gang-related homicide, there are still unknown driving factors for the other 84% of youth charged with homicide. This surge calls for further investigation into social, economic, and psychological pressures that may be driving this alarming trend. As well, many more incidents invovled multiple accused individuals. Although this causes concern, there is also the worry about who children decide to socialize with. Simply falling into the wrong crowd, having misguided directions, or being there for a friend can result in life-changing consequences. A further unexpected trend is the number of homicides that a child or youth has witnessed. After reading about spousal homicide data in the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC, 2019) and learning that the killing of women by intimate partners or family members is rising, it can be expected that children would become witnesses. However, it is still surprising, given that I cannot imagine a parent wishing to bestow this type of trauma upon their children. There are other locations to which children become homicide witnesses, some of which are a matter of the wrong place at the wrong time and cannot be avoided. I simply hope these children are not scarred by their witnessing, as it is a serious matter. A foreseen trend within this report would be the number of homicide incidents that involved a firearm. Firearms continue to play a prominent role in violent crimes, and their accessibility remains a critical concern. However, Canada has stricter gun control laws and lower rates of firearm ownership compared to other countries. Additionally, different forms of violence, such as stabbings and assault, can also lead to homicide and may take up large percentages of the homicides accounted for in 2022. In addition, with gang-related homicides accounting for nearly one-quarter of all homicides, 82% of them involved a firearm. Therefore, it seems to me as though it could be gangs that are mainly responsible for the homicides committed with a firearm. Overall, the report paints a complex picture of crime in Canada, with significant variations across regions and demographics. The sharp rise in youth homicides and the increase in Manitoba’s homicide rate suggest deeper societal issues that need further exploration. While firearm-related homicides remain a concern, especially in gang-related cases, they remain a steady statistic when compared to the previous year.

POST – 2
I was surprised to see that Manitoba had the highest increase in murder rates among Canadian provinces. “The rate rose by 40%, from 4.45 murders per 100,000 people in 2021 to 6.24 in 2022, making it the highest rate among provinces”. I knew that Alberta and Saskatchewan had high crime rates, but I was shocked to discover that the rate increased by 40% between 2021 and 2022, which is a lot. After doing some research, I discovered that in Manitoba, people who are struggling to meet their basic requirements are more likely to turn to crime and gangs for help, which explains why the rate is so high (We Need to Address the Violent Crime in Manitoba…).The rise in violent crime and homicide cases in Winnipeg is part of a pattern that corresponds with a lack of economic success and marginalization of many individuals, according to criminologist Kelly Gorkoff (Turner, 2023). However, to prevent a high homicide rate, the province intends to reduce gangs, remove firearms from the streets, and address the root causes of crime.
Furthermore, I was aware that Indigenous people are over-represented in the Canadian criminal justice system as both victims and accused, but the fact that it was more than six times higher than non-indigenous people is very shocking. The number of homicides involving Indigenous victims in Canada remains disproportionately high, owing to the ongoing history of colonization. This includes financial disadvantage, systematic discrimination, racism, intergenerational trauma, land displacement, and settler-colonial views. In 2022, 225 homicide victims were Indigenous, accounting for 27% of the total, at a rate of 10.98 victims per 100,000 Indigenous people.
These statistics show the critical need for structural changes to address the underlying causes of violence against Indigenous peoples in Canada. It is critical that the Canadian government prioritize Indigenous rights and collaborate with Indigenous people to adopt solutions that solve these issues.
