Why Are Canadians Feeling Less Safe? | The Rundown

Recent polling from the Angus Reid Institute shows that a majority of Canadians believe crime in their communities has increased over the past five years. But do those fears reflect reality? Then, while it might seem intuitive that fear declines when crime rates fall, that’s not always how people respond. The Rundown examines the gap between perception and fact, exploring why risk can feel higher than it is, when fear is reasonable, and when it may be misleading. 0:00 – Intro 0:37 – Do Canadians Think Crime Is Rising? 1:28 – Interview: Why Fear Is Increasing (Shachi Kurl) 2:45 – Visible Disorder & Community Safety 4:00 – Violent Crime Trends Across Canada 4:15 – Who Feels Most Unsafe?
