Historically, fewer than 33 per cent of all assaults in Vancouver were considered serious, meaning cases where a person used a weapon or caused bodily harm. Beginning in 2020, the proportion of serious assaults increased by 40 per cent
“Importantly, the historical data shows that assaults in Vancouver have not only increased in number but have also progressively become more serious and more violent,” said the report, noting an average of four unprovoked assaults occur every day in the city.

Six-fold increase in anti-Asian hate crimes
Other data highlighted in the report said there was a six-fold increase in anti-Asian hate crime in the first eight months of 2022 relative to the three-year average preceding the pandemic.
Despite efforts by the VPD to increase community awareness and facilitate the reporting of hate crimes, there are reasons to believe that VPD statistics under-estimate the true extent of the problem

Hard statistics though must be just subjective as what do they prove?…
This idea of can’t complain because I haven’t done anything.. what else can I do other then vote or contact my city council etc? These problems are so far beyond even the municipal level of politics no one can have an effect on then outside of total reform.
So we live with a couple left leaning mayors who the problems have become substantially worse under, now Ken sim comes in and it’s like “a business man?!?! A conservative devil????”
We are at the low of lows right now. As with federal politics, it gets to the point where anything is better than the status quo. Doesn’t matter liberal conservative, you could call it X party and Y party. After an extended period of time where things have gotten substantially worse, what other option do you have but the alternative?
I don’t disagree with Westophers point about lack of opportunity etc. but when career criminals are roaming the streets looking to put a pipe through your head, there comes a time when this segment of society are better off kept away from the general public rather than sent through the system only to reoffend and ruin yet another life. That’s the path we’re heading down rather quickly.
