Spiralling into control

Reasonably good news from StatsCan:
Statistics Canada report says Canada's crime rate fell a marginal one per cent last year...

Except for an increase in 2003, the crime rate has generally been falling since it peaked in 1991, StatsCan said. Police reported about 2.6 million offences in 2004, resulting in a crime rate that was 12 per cent lower than a decade ago.

Even if progress is slow, the crime rate continues to go in the right direction - no matter what your friendly neighbourhood wingnut has to say.
