Original Note:
The graph shown doesn't follow the best practice to represent dual axes with significant differences. It uses a relationship distortion to make the growth worse that it actually is. Between 2015 and 2022 there was a 39% increase (data which includes traffic violation). https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/daily-quotidien/230727/dq230727b-eng.pdf?st=6fpNMl5F https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/violent-crime-rose-again-in-2022-murder-rate-highest-in-30-years-statcan https://www.yellowfinbi.com/best-practice-guide/charts-visualizations/chart-axis-best-practices
