The UCR survey provides information on the characteristics of robbery incidents that have been reported to, and substantiated by, police services. The report shows that in 2008, police services reported about 32,000 robberies in Canada, representing 7% of all violent crimes and 1% of all Criminal Code offences. About one-quarter of robberies also involved an additional violation, most commonly a weapon offence (such as possession of a prohibited weapon), assault or uttering threats. The past 10 years show two distinct trends in the rate of police-reported robbery. The first is between 1999 and 2002, when the rate declined 11%. Since then, the robbery rate has remained relatively stable, despite annual fluctuations. Details: Ottawa: Statistics Canada, 2010. 20p.
