Abstract
Recently released statistics from Statistics Canada appear to be creating a dissonance between official statistics and victimization studies. This dissonance is confirmed and a Funnel Theory is posited to relieve the dissonance and provide a single explanation of the disparate statistics. Funnel Theory holds that changes in the criminal legal process are determinative of the changes in criminal statistics. The impacts of changes in police reporting, digital technology and court decisions are examined using the lens of the Funnel Theory. This examination demonstrates the growing incapacity of the criminal legal system to deal with actual crime levels or to satisfy public demands for effective response to criminal behaviour.
