I was surprised to see Victoria ranked so high. I have never been there, but I thought it had a reputation of being a nice city without much crime. I was also surprised to see Peterborough ranked so high and Gatineau so low. I have been to both many times and found Peterborough to be very nice and Gatineau is a hole for the most part (at least downtown).

Lived in Victoria for 5 years. It's overrun with drug addicts. The mild climate and bohemian culture results in every heroin and meth head in the country trying to set up camp, litterally. There is a huge tent city of drug addicts by the train tracks just outside of downtown.
Combine this with a large student population with a strong female majority, and that's where the sexual assaults come into play. The campus is surrounded by woods. So it was easy for perverts to come in, assault young women, and then retreat into the woods.
