A column by Lorrie Goldstein for the Sun/QMI chain (appearing in the Ottawa Sun, Toronto Sun and London Free Press among others) cites Scott Newark’s Why Canadian Crime Statistics Don’t Add Up. Goldstein starts by saying even if crime is slightly down recently it’s way up since the early 1960s, then brings in Newark’s paper to say it may well not be down recently, and adds that critics who accuse Newark of cherry-picking numbers are pots calling a kettle black.
