Murder Rates in Canada

The removal of capital punishment from
the Canadian Criminal Code in 1976 has
not led to an increase in the murder
rate in Canada. In fact, Statistics
Canada reports that the murder rate for
2001 stayed stable for the third year in
a row at approximately 1.8 homicides
for every 100,000 population.

The total number of murders in Canada
in 2001 was 554, just eight more than
in 2000, but 167 fewer than in 1975,
the year before capital punishment was
abolished.

Murder rates are generally at least
three times lower in Canada than in the
United States. In 1999, Canada's
murder rate was 1.8 per 100,000
population. In that same year, the U.S.
homicide rate was 5.7 per 100,000 population in the United
States, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
