Oil City is a sprawling North American city, with a population of nearly one million people. It is the main service town for a nearby oil and gas field, with many itinerant workers traveling between the city and the oil patch. As an energycentric town, the local economy rides the waves of oil price fluctuations, with boom times drawing an influx of workers to the city who often spend money as quickly as they earn it. When the latest oil bubble bursts, these same workers often become. The population is increasingly multicultural, although the members of many immigrant groups feel increasingly isolated due to reasons of language, culture, and social status. First Nations people are drawn to the city from surrounding reserves in search of employment, but often struggle to find their place in a community that does not necessarily reflect their more traditional values. The city has brutally cold winters, and relatively short, dry summers that spawn regular tornados, making life difficult year-round for those forced to live rough. Like most North American cities, Oil City has seen a gradual decline in its reported crime rates since peaking in the late 1970s and early 1980s. While crime has gone down across the board, the incidence of violent crime (crimes involving the use, or threatened use, of force against a person) has slowly been climbing over the past decade.
