This section contains 10+ assertions that have no citations. In addition, it focuses heavily on police response to youth gangs instead of more general information about youth gang-related crime in Toronto. I've added a template message and will begin working on this section — adding sources, removing unverifiable claims, etc. Cycloth ( talk) 18:44, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I've done a first rewrite. Stuff I removed:

https://torontolife.com/city/crime/breaking-brian-shin/ talks about which ethnicities were involved in which aspects of drug dealing and crime. I wonder if other RSes talk about that sort of thing. WhisperToMe ( talk) 02:00, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
What’s the justification reverting other people’s edits freely? Should we set up some rules to prevent this from happening again? Kennykaiyinyu ( talk) 02:10, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
“Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.“ have you followed this guideline when reverting my edits? Kennykaiyinyu ( talk) 02:30, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
A phrase in the third paragraph in the opener states:"Toronto experienced the highest homicide rate among major Canadian cities in 2018;[14]". This may be true, but I cannot verify the statistics provided in the Huffington Post article that is cited. It claims as its sources police reports and Statistics Canada. The only Statistics Canada reports I can find focus on CMA statistics, however. [1] and [2]. I am not sure how accurate the HuffPost stats are in absence of additional information. For instance, the City of Winnipeg's population in 2018 was approx. 750,000 people and 22 murder were committed, which results in a murder rate of 2.93, not 2.6 as in the HuffPost article. The stats for the WInnipeg CMA were 2.69. I don't want to interfere in this page on my own, but thought I should note this for active editors. 50.71.236.119 ( talk) 22:44, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

I made several improvements to the article itself and corrected the statistics in the table on the right based on the current information from the Toronto police for homicides and for shootings. However, user @ Ifixeverythingrt: reverted these changes with a comment to "incorrect statistics". I would like to discuss which statistics we should use in the article and how to improve the general structure of the article. To me it seems most prudent to use the official statistics from the Toronto Police data portal, which is where I got the updated numbers from (instead of various news articles that seem to report inconsistently from year to year). Additionally I made some changes to remove sensationalist reporting (see also topic above where this was already flagged) that was based on the 2018 increase in crime which has since subsided and added an CBC article that discusses long-term trends in crime. -- hroest 15:04, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
