Five-year average

A look at 10 popular travel destinations and the five-year average of the number of Canadians assaulted or killed while visiting.
Country Incidents per 100,000 visits
Cuba 1.5
Dominican Republic 1.6
Jamaica 3.6
Mexico 2.1
United States 0.03
Worldwide 0.5

I bet Edmonton/Prince George/Winnipeg has a higher rate of assaults/murders of Canadians per 100,000 people than some/most of those places. In fact, if Edmonton has 47 murders, and 1.2 million people... And that's not including assaults even.
Considering the majority of Edmontonians are Canadians I would suspect so....look at your own list worlwide the avg is .5 in the 3rd world places like Jamaica and Mexico and Cuba the rate is 3 to 7 times higher...and thats just quoting Canadians...whats the rate among foreign tourists?
