[Wamvan] Help with article research for sexual assault rates for Vancouver?

[Joanna Chiu]

Hi everyone,

I've heard that the latest crime report shows that rates of sexual assault
in Vancouver have increased more than 20% but after Googling, I can't find
any articles on the subject. Has anyone seen anything on the rise in sexual
assault in Vancouver?

Someone has also mentioned to me that the media has downplayed the rise in
sexual assault by reporting that "major crimes" have gone down in Vancouver
(not counting rape as a major crime). Any examples of particularly bad media
coverage?

I'm hoping to write a media critique.

Thanks!

Joanna
