Chart 6
Rate of Indigenous persons accused of homicide by sex, Canada, 2014 to 2018
Note(s):
Indigenous identity is reported by the police and is determined through information provided by the accused person, or through other means such as status cards, information supplied by the accused persons' families, community members, or other sources (for example, band records). The year 2014 marked the first cycle of collection of the Homicide Survey data for which complete information regarding Indigenous identity was reported for persons accused of homicide. "Indigenous identity" includes those identified by police as First Nations persons (either status or non-status), Métis, Inuit, or an Indigenous identity where the Indigenous group was not known to police. Populations are based upon July 1, 2018, estimates from Statistics Canada.
