Crime in Mississauga, Canada

My 17 year old son just got assaulted walking home from school at 2:50 p.m. He did nothing wrong. Just minding his own business and some punk started beating him. This happened a block away from home. Mississauga is sinking fast. Support our wonderful police officers who face the battle every day. Put pressure on the mayor and city hall to get their act together and focus on the real problems. Mississauga is going to lose some great residents.

Trudeau and Wayne are to blame for all Ontario...Ontario is transforming itself into Detroit. Don't bring immigrants here, take care of your own. There are no jobs for the highly educated people here...only those with connections and without education have jobs. Why do you bring so many immigrants in when they cannot afford a living? NO JOBS!!!!!! People who have PHDs and work at the gas station. Awful.

It's not about the immigrants, the crime rate is increasing due to all the trends going on. Just look at all the music videos what are they about ... violence, drugs, sex, alcohol and etc. Everywhere you go in the world, crime will always be there and is increasing rapidly.

Malton is ghetto already two shootings in the year last year there was 6 and not nearly as much population as other areas

Too many immigrants making the place shady. So many kids that cannot even form a sentence in English or french. A beautiful city that has really gone down hill.

There aren't a lot of legitimate opportunities for young millennials to make money in the GTA anymore. In Ontario circa January 2017, 21.5% of men 25-29 are NOT EMPLOYED and 13.5% of men 30-34 are NOT EMPLOYED (Source: http://www5.statcan.gc.ca/cansim/a47). And January is traditionally a good month for jobs. Because you still get some leftovers from the holiday hiring cycle. When the February/March numbers come in, the employment rate is going to be even worse.

What are these men doing with their life at that age if they are not working? Some of these mature aged men may be in school or in grad school or re-training. But I doubt that makes up the majority for 25-34 year old men.

So with the lack of opportunities, they turn to selling drugs. They turn to crime.

You want this to stop? FIX THE FUCKING ECONOMY STUPID. I'm looking at you Kathleen Wynne and Justin Trudeau. Canada and Ontario need a Bernie Sanders or dare I say a Tommy Douglas. Bring back jobs, LIVING WAGE JOBS. Make Canada Great Again. Trump is a trustfund billionaire. We will not do anything for the working class in the United States. And a Canadian Trump (like Kevin O'leary or Kellie Leitch) isn't going to do jack shit for the Canadian working class.

The crime rate has gone from bad to worse. The criminals are organized. They plan a burglary days in advance. Sitting in their cars watching the streets. They know when no one is home and plan their attack. There are over 100 burglaries and stuff stolen from cars in your own driveway every month. They police can't stop them. If they could then the crime rate would have gone down. Mississauga is slowly turning into Detroit.

New year and already had my neighbours house broken into. Simple solution to get rid of this....Stop Muslim immigration.

Mississauga is a good city but I never thought that it is a crime place so sad

Too many people from Rexdale, Regent,etc moving to sauga.

Most of the drug dealers here are Pakistanis and Somalians.Lol how Muslim of themz

10 years ago Mississauga was viewed as a safe city. Time flies...doesn't it? Its sad how the crime rate has increased this high and the media barely reports it. Giving the view to neighbouring cities that its a safe city.However they will unfortunately find out the hard way. People think its safe to hang out at night in areas like cooksville but they learn their lesson quick.

As racist as this sounds, majority of people that are doing the crime here are black. st

Immigration is killing Mississauga. All the Brown and Black people are troublemakers.
Brampton is by far the worst dump of them all. Brownies everywhere.
I blame Liberal governments who let all this ethnic trash in our nice city. Politicians just buying immigrant votes.
We need to get rid of most of the bad black and brownies that are destroying this once fantastic city. These people are just no good.

All the crazy shit that happens in the Toronto area is in Mississauga. Serial killers burning house down, Violent fist fights over parking spots in a car park. People trying to escape police. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS IN MISSISSAUGA CRAZY ASS PLACE

Sauga is fine. They're worse areas out there...Just don't go malton or cooksville and act like a wasteman who's asking to be boxed

Absolutely shocked by the previous comment! Race has nothing to do with the violent crime rate. Mississauga is one of the most diverse places in the Toronto area. Has the crime rate grown? Of course it has, The police are patrolling the streets of Cooksville and Malton. And it not just brown and black people causing this. Plenty of lower class eastern european thugs in the city. Mississauga has grown and so has the crime rate.

Mississauga is growing rapidly and so is the crime rate. I would recommend to live in the city centre area,Erin mills or streetsville. Areas I wouldn't recommend if you are concerned about safety would be Malton,Woodlands and Cooksville.

Seeing those numbers, it's pretty much a safer community. Don't know why everybody is so paranoid about Mississauga.

I have noticed the quiet and peaceful area of port credit on the water front in mississauga slowly take a dive to a shady and sketchy place to live. I hate to say this but its all European decent fresh immigrants dirt bags plus some thugs from toronto moving into the area that have made it scary to go out at any time of the day. There is a corner near the rabba that has a young white Slovak looking douchbag dressed up like a rap star standing on the corner all day wearing the usual jump suit, just waiting there, its obvious what he is doing. Then there is his handler or pimp/ drug holder that walks around or sits in his car also wearing a looser matching jump suit. Who is stalking the area, i have witnessed him following young girls and propositioning them, i have seen him steal food stuff from the surrounding area and give it to the young kid on the corner. Plus I have been approached by young attractive girls trying to spark up a conversation at all hours of the day and they look desperate but dressed well. Its all off putting I wont even leave my house any more if i can help it and im a large male, i just feel like prey when i walk the streets, the police need to patrol the streets way more often like they used to, i have moved away to get away from that whole scene. I can see port credit becoming worse in the near future, even thought the rent and real estate is overly high, they come from the cheaper surrounding areas to put forth there scummy shadiness, i dont understand why these people dont just get jobs Mississauga has tons of them. The night life and restaurants suck here as it is, and adding the drugs and prostitution is only going to bring Port Credit to its knees no pun intended.

People assume Mississauga is so safe. But nothing is perfect. Certain areas have a high crime rate like Woodlands,Malton,Queen Frederica and Ridgeway have the highest crime rates and poverty and should be priority neighborhoods. Mississauga is it's own city and has been for close to 40 years. We are not Toronto only because Mississauga is a smaller land with a lower population with less murders other than that there is all the other crimes commuted that are very bad.
