The scary thing I am finding in Vancouver is that the majority of crimes committed as of late are by teenagers and people in their lates teens-early 20's.
I hope the Harper government and their budget will begin to address a lot of these problems. I was happy to hear the announcements regarding adding more federal police as this affects my current situation directly, or my husband's current situation - he is in the middle of the RCMP recruitment process.

I don't know about Vancouver, but in Toronto, more serious crimes tend to happen in CERTAIN AREAS of the city. For example, murders tend to happen in certain parts of Scarborough, Rexdale or "Jane and Finch." Interestingly, Regent Park, which is home to the oldest housing project still in existence, hasn't had that much violent crime as of late.
