Pathetic sample size, self-selected sample, entirely subjective reporting, no demographic information on respondents, no statistical analysis of data, no indication that reliable statistical data on all this information even exists let alone a comparison to it. I've seen Grade 10 science fairs with better survey data. What's the point of this, exactly?
You argue that just because Rape gets reported more in one college than it does everywhere else in the city basically debunks this poll.
You said "If Kelowna is such a crime haven (versus other cities), where is it?" Well according to your conclusion, "Its not being reported". That doesnt mean its not happening. Im sure like anywhere there are hotspots for crime and so you may not be living near those spots.
my point is, just because someone doesnt report something, or a school has a better policy for reporting and are more strict, doesnt mean the crimes do not exists.
I have seen many studies done on Kelowna and they all seem to say the same thing. Although the crime dropped just enough since 2013 to take Kelowna out of the top spot in Canada, its still quite far up in the list.
I do believe the Province should be sending more police and a gang task force up there if they want to tackle this problem. Maybe they need more education on crime in the schools. Start on these future criminals in the schools. I dont believe there is only one action that would make the difference. I believe there are many that would significantly make a change.
If Kelowna is such a crime haven (versus other cities), where is it? In my daily life, I don't EVER feel unsafe in any way due to crime. Getting hit by a car (because there are so few sidewalks in many areas) is a far bigger safety concern for me.
