London has Ontario’s 2nd-lowest criminal stalking rate — a product, officials say, of a concerted effort by police, the city and others to tackle the problem.
The rate for metropolitan areas across the country was measured as the number of incidents per 100,000 population.
London’s rate was 42, compared to Kitchener with 100, Windsor 62, Brantford 100, Hamilton 60 and Guelph 58. Toronto’s rate was 62 while Ottawa’s 28 was lowest in the province. The highest in Canada was Kingston at 224.
