DAWSON, PRINTER TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MA-J EST Y 1893 ^r -.. CRIME IN CANADA. During thirteen years, 1880-92, the functiomiries of courts or triljunals administer- ing criminal justice in Canada have supplied to the Department of Agriculture and Statistics the records of crime in accordance with the requirements of 39 Vic, cap. 1.3, Statutes of Canada. Leaving out the first two years of i:he period during which these statistics have been collected as Hkely to be inaccurate owing to the difficulties attendant on the introduction of a new measure, we have eleven years' records. These records show that during these eleven years there have been recorded 383,4.59 convictions for crimes. By years these are as under : — 1882 31,305 1888 ...37,649 1883 33,388 1889 38,431 1884 29,536 1890 38,540 1885 33,869 1891 37,415 • 1886 3.3,876 1892 .34,997 1887 34,453 making a total of 383,459, and an annual average of 34,860. As a decade of crime is included in the period 1882-91 it iuay be advisable to give separately the statistics for the year 1892. Following this plan we have for the ten years 1882-91 a total of 348,462 convic- tions and an annual avei'age of 34,846. According to classes of crimes these 348,462 convictions are divided thus :— Murder, ui.aHslanghter and attempts at Offences against females Other off enoes against the person Robbery with violence, burglary, liouse and shop-breaking. Horse, cattle and sheep stealing Other offences against property Other felonies and misdemeanours Breachefe of municipal by-laws and other minor offences. . . , Drunkenness Breaches of liquor laws . 1S82-!)1.

It will be seen that Nos. 8, 9 and 10, which constituted 73 90 per cent of the con- victions in the 1880-82 period, were in the 1889-91 period 76-73 per cent of the whole convictions. Of the remaining classes of offences, murder and manslaughter show a tendency to a decrease.* Rape and other offences against females remain steadily at the * The niimbei of jiersons charjred with m\u-d(>r during the period 1881-92 (both years included) is 308, an ainuial average of 25 7. Of this nunil)er lliS were ac(|uitted ; 14 were detained for lunacy and 114 were convicted, thus accomitiug for 29G. ( )f the remaining 12, one was extradited after trial, one was twice convicted up-d three more than twice. In one case the jury disagreed. These figures show that over 54 per cent of tiie i)ersons charged were convicted In the ITnited King- dom, France, (Jerniany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and I5elgium taken together the accjuittals were 71 |'er cent of the persons charged, and ni the United Kingdom and France taken together the acipiittals wereG4 IHT cent of the persons charged. In a general way this indicates either that charges are less reckltvsly made in Canada or that persons charged have less chance of escaping Canadian jtu-ies than those of the other countries named. 6 same general average, though there has been a reduction in the last two periods com- pared with the periwl 1883-8'). Kol)l>ery with vi<»lence, including house and shop- breaking, shows a steady tendency to increase. Drunkenness shows a general increase in the three-year j)eriods, but a decided decrease in 1S92 comi)ared with pievious years. The increase apparentdown to 1891 does not indicate that drunkenness was on theincrease but rather that there was a sterner spirit aVjroad respecting punishment of drunkenne.ss. By provinces the record is : — Ontario, one conviction to every 112 inhabitants in 1881 (> Quebec a Nova Sc(jtia ii New Brunswick (( P. E.

Manitol)a is remarkable for having an actual decrea.se of con%icted criminals while increasing its population 131 per cent. Lawlessness does not appear to have a grip on Manitoba ; on the contrary, law seems to have a firm hold of the people.

Tn the subseijuent yefirs the group still further enlarged, and in 18S6 it was 77 persons and one of them a convicted cri- nunal ; in 1887, it was 1:54 ; in 1888, 177 ; in 1889, 131 ; in 1890, 167 ; and in 1891, 153. 11. As before stated the returns enable us to discuss the convictions both oi indictable offences and of offences ti'ied summarily," for a ])eriod of twelve years. Further chstails are not given in the case of offences tried sununarily. They are given for indicfn/t/e offences. Hut througli error in arrangeuKMit the earlier years \' "le not tjibulated in accordance with the plan a(loi)ted in later yeai-s. These earlier years are being compiled over again HO as to bring them into unison with the subsecjuent years. We have, however, a series •of yeai's from (and including) 1884 to 1891, in which tlie system of division that has prevailed is identical. During these eight years the persons charged with indictable offences number 44,1 73,^ and the convicted 28,918. According to years the statement is as follows : — Detaint'fl Proportion Year.

The second is that there is no great variation in the annual pro- portion of convictions to charges, and the third fact is that the year 1887 had the highest and 1884 the lowest i)ercentage of convictit>ns to charges. In the United Kingdom the percentage of convictions to charges for the period 1880-89 was: — England and Scotland, 77 per cent; Ireland, 53 per cent. In Australia the percentage is 57"3. Canada occu[)ies an intermediate position between England and Australia in respect to tlie percentage of diarges resulting in con\-ictions. The average annual number of charges for the period (18,S4-91) in Canaila is 5,521, iind of convictions 3,615. During 1891 there were 5,988 cliarges or 467 above the average and 3,904 Cfmvictions or 349 above the average. According to se.\ the total convictions in Canada for the period 1884-91 were: males, 26,383 ; females, 2,535. Females constituteil 8-7 per cent of the convictions. In England there are 84 male to 16 female offenders; in Scotland, 67 males to 33 females; in Canada, 90 males to 10 females; in Victoria, Australia, 76 males to 24 females; in France, 83 males to 17 females; in Germany, 79 males to 21 females. 8 Roughly speaking, in England fenmle cnniiniils are one-sixth of the criminal class ; in Scotland, one-third; in Canada, t)ne-tenth ; in Victoria, one-fourth; in France, one- sixtii ; in (Jerniany, oiie-tifth. Tn their order of demerit the countries mentioned stand HcKtland, Victoria, (Jermany, England, France, Canada, the latter having hy far the smallest female criminal class. (Sff Appendix Til.) According to occupations agiicultural pursuits furnished 4G per cent of the convio- tions ; commercial, 9-2 per cent; domestic, 5-6 per cent; industrial, 147 per cent: professional, 1 -0 per cent ; hdnmrers, 41'7 per cent, and not given and no occupation, 22"G per cent. It will he seen tiiat labourers constitute nearly one-lialf of the convicted. The same proportion obtains in the colony of Victoria. As to birth places England furni.shed D'."} per cent.

" Not given " constitute 0-7 per cent of population and commit 3-3 per cent of crime. Thus English and Irish contribute a larger proporticm in conijiarison with their numbers than any other nationality, the English heading the list. United States follow hard after English and Irish. Other foreign countries come next but considerably l)elow the preceding three. Canadians are far below the percentage of crime that should be theirs according to their relative superiority- in numbers, and Scotch are slightly below. Native Canadians, though 86J, per cent of the population are responsible only for OS-J pel- cent of the crime, and other nationalities though only 13.1 ppi- ^-ent of the pojiu- lation are responsible for 31-8 per cent of the crhne.

They have 1 6 per cent of the crime, and their contribution to the occu- pations is 4 {)er cent. In offences against the currency and forgery they connnit 8 per t;ent of the crime. 6th, that labourei's contribute more than their share ti. every class of crime, their percentage being highest in class 2, offences against propei'ty with violence, where their share of the crime is 4()' 1 pei' cent against a contribution of 12 per cent to t.he constituent elements which make up the occupations. It must be remembered that the period covered by these returns was an «'i"a of rjiilway Iniilding, and that large forces of labourers were traversing the country and contributing to its criminal records without permanently cuting to its population. The recoi-ds of 1892 show an improvement, the proportio.i of crime committed by lalxairers being 38 per cent against 41 7 for th0 previous 8 years. Pre Pr< Pre Pr< Pre De Pi( Ed 11 1884-91.

It is evident, ffom tliis analysis, that juvenile criminality is developing in tlic direc- tion of breaking the Eighth Connnandment. Sunnning up the results obtained from this study of the criminal statistics of Canada we find : 1st. That, milking allowance for the greater accuracy of the retui'iis during recent years, crime has decreased. Jnd. That the year 1892 was one of the cleanest years of wliicli we lia\t' record, the decrease in crime, as e\ idem-ed in the runuber of conxictions, having been mai'ked in all four of the great divisions: — offences against the person : against property ; felonies and minor misdemeanours ; and drunkenness. 3rd. That drunkenness has not increased notwitlistanding the decreiise in the number of Scott Act counties. 4th. That the law-abiding population in the North-west and Manitoba has a firm hold of the countiT, and gives promise of retaining (hat hold in (he interest of law and order, thus making these newly opened regions highly attiactive to settlers desinais of bringing uj) fan\ilies in honest ways. nth. That law is well administei-ed in Canada, the escapes from charges made being fewer proportionally than in most countries. Gth. That the native born population is much less ci'iminal in its tendencies than the foreign born. 16 7th. Tiiiit the female population of Canada supplies much fewer criminals from its ranks than the female part of the population in other countries. 8th. That juvenile crime is on the increase among males, though decreasing among juveniles of the female sex. TCvidently " our boys " want looking after. 9th. That recidivists are on the decrease, the nunibci- of persons convicted fre- (|uently of crime having, in 1S92, been ") per cent of the total convictions as against 5"7 per cent during the previous eight years. If criminality runs in families we are succeed- ing in extirpating tlie criminal producing families. 10th. The benclit of education as repressive of crime is seen in the fact that in 1892 more than one-tifth i>f the criminals were unable to read and write as against one-sixth in the pi'evious eight years. The illiterates are gradually increa.sing their proportion while criminals with elementary education are decreasing their proportion. 11th. As regards religious beliefs, Roman Catholics, Church of England and V>■,^^- tists show a tendency to go beyond their proportion, while .Methodists and Presbyterians have not contributed their proportionate nimiber. Thus the Roman Catholics, in 1892 formed ■IS'S per cent of the total convictinl criminals, and in the previous eight years they averaged 48*1 per cent. The projxntion of Jioman Catholics to the whole popida- ti(m of the Dominion, in 1891, was 41'21 per cent. They have therefore somewhat more of the crime chaiged to them than their relative numbers in the Canadian connnunity warrant. The adherents of the Church of England have increased their proportion »)f con- victed criminals from lfi-2 per cent, in the 1884-91 period, to 18-3 per cent in 1892^ while l>y the census returns the i)roportion of the Churcli of Ei\glantl in the whole popxi- lation was 13-37 per cent. On the other hand ^[ethodists decreased their proportion of convicted criminals from lO"") per cent, in 1884-91, to 9-8 per cent in 1S92, and Presbyterian criminals decreased from 7*3 to 7"1 per cent. The proportion of Methodists ift the whole jxipula- tion, according to the census, is 17 '40 per cent, and of Presbyterians 15 -62 per cent. Thus eairh was considerably below the proportion of criminals that would fall to it from its relative position in the constituent elements of the population. The Presbyterians furnish a smaller (piota to the criminal class than any other denomination. 12th. Crime in cities shows for 1892 a slight increase, and crime in the rural di.^- tricts a decrea,se, as compared with 1884-91. GEO. JOHNSON, Statistician.

En inettaiit ces deux classics d'ott'enses ensemble, pour les aniu'es des i-etensements de 1(S81 et 1891, on tmuve qu'en 1881 il y avait une oH'ense pour ohaque 148 haltilants, tandis ([u'en 1891 il y en avait une pour cliaque 1*J9.

Outre le fait que beaucoup plus de soins sont maintenant apportes dans la trans- mission des rapports, les autres facteurs (pii doi\t'nt necessairement entrer dans la consi- deration de la cjuestion, a savoir si le crime a i-t'-ellement augmente, sont : ler, une plus grande vigilance de ia part de la police ; 2nie, le courant de la population vers h^s villes, ce qui rend la decouverte du crime plus facile ; et Ihne, lelargissement du cadre des offenses criminelles par les legislatures ; par exemple, chaque annee les infractions aux lois municipales deviennent jilus nombreuses que Tannee pn'cedente.

Que la classe coniinerciale contribue pour plus que sa proportion dans les crimes entres dans la classe 1, offenses contre la personne, et dans ceux de la classe 5, faux et delits par rapport a la nionnaie. 3e. Que la classe doniestique entre dans le crime k peu pres dans une juste proportion quant a sou nombre. 4e. Que la classe industrielle contribue pour moias que sa proportion dans les six divisions du crime, excepte cepen- dant dans la classe 2, donnnages avec violence contre la propriete, ou elle excede un peu sa proportion. 5e. Que la classe professionnelle dans son ensemble a une moyenne pro- portiounelle beaucoup au-dessous de sa part dans le crime, comparee aux autres occupa- tions. Elle a 16 pour 100 du crime ; et sa contribution aux occupations est de 4 pour 100. Dans les offenses pour faux et delits par rapport a la monnaie, elle a 8 pour 100. 6e. Que la classe des journaliers contribue pour ])lus que sa part dans la participation a chatpie division du crime, le taux le i)lus eleve etant dans la classe 2, delits avec violence contre la propriete, on leur part dans le crime est de 46-1 pour 100, contre une contribu- tion de 12 ])our 100 aux differents elements qui constituent les occupations ; on doit se rappeler cei)endant (pie la i)eriode de temps comprise dans ces rapports a etc une ere de construction de clieinins de fer, et que des groupes nombreux de travaillants etaient repandus part out dans le pays et contribuaient pour une grande part aux registres cri- minels, sans contribuer d'une maniere permanente a sa population.
