Note(s):
Analysis of victim information is based on Criminal Code human trafficking incidents only, where human trafficking was the only or the most serious violation in the incident. Calculations for accused persons are based on incidents where human trafficking was any violation in the incident, and include Criminal Code offences and violations against the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Children under 12 years of age cannot be prosecuted for criminal activities, and are therefore excluded from analysis of accused persons.
