Period Score

Sustainability End Goal

Ideally there are zero victims of non-domestic assault and property crime in the city.

Metric

non-domestic assaults and property crime rate represented by a percentage score
zero non-domestic assaults and property crimes represented by 100%

How The Score Is Calculated

This is an exception where the metric needs an adjustment (Refer to B4 Approach). When the sustainability end goal is a zero, a percentage score will be assigned to represent a particular level of crime rate (to be developed).

Rationale and Analysis

Why We Measure This

Non-domestic assaults (i.e., violent crimes against a stranger) and residential and business break-ins are probably the most common and troubling types of crime that erode a community’s sense of public safety. The murder rate is often used as a crime indicator. But murder could occur behind closed doors and may not be discovered for years or ever. Emergency response and advanced life saving techniques are helping people survive serious injuries. Monitoring non-domestic violent crimes and property crimes could be more useful to better understand public safety issues over time.
