Maclean's has come up with a list of the most dangerous cities in Canada (pop. 50,000 or more) based on 2006 per capita crime rates. The study took into account six types of crimes: murder, sexual assault, aggravated assault, robbery, breaking and entering, and auto theft.
Nanaimo came in 18th worst. Surprsingly, Regina tops the list (keep your head down, Dustin!), although it was in a virtual dead heat with Saskatoon and Winnipeg. Only one eastern city, Halifax, made the top 10. Five of the top 10 cities are in B.C., although Vancouver comes in at a surprisingly low No. 9. The others are Prince George (4), New Westminster (6), Chilliwack (7) and Victoria (8).
According to Maclean's, the break-and-enter rates in Chilliwack and Victoria would put them among the top 10 per cent of all American cities.
