(2) Crime 犯罪
--> Canada's crime rate: 13297 out of 100000 (13.3%) My Comment: Is
really Canada safe? The figure should be worse because a lot of crime has
not been reported.
--> カナダの犯罪率： 人口の１３．３％。
(Only reported cases. 警察へ届け出されたものに限る。)
(Ranks the worst 6th. 世界最悪第６位。)

--> Each year in Canada, traffic crashes claim around 3,600 lives or
about 10 people a day. Comment: I believe that injuries by motor vehicle
accidents are very much underestimated.
