    Description: Online child sexual exploitation captures a wide range of criminal offences involving victims aged 17 years and younger, including luring, invitation to sexual touching, and non-consensual distribution of intimate images, as well as online child pornography (including child pornography generated using artificial intelligence).

    Using a data file linking police-reported data from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey to court data from the Integrated Criminal Court Survey, this Juristat article explores how online child sexual exploitation incidents progress through the criminal justice system, from police to courts. More specifically, the article examines the criminal justice outcomes (i.e., charges laid, decisions made in relation to these charges and, where possible, sentencing outcomes) of online child sexual exploitation incidents reported by police between 2014 and 2021 that resulted in a completed court case between fiscal years 2013/2014 and 2022/2023.

    Description:

    This objective of this report is to present the status of national data on Aboriginal people who come into contact with the criminal justice system as offenders and victims.

The data and sources are examined within the context of information needs for the justice and social policy sectors, and in relation to the preferred method of measuring Aboriginal Identity at Statistics Canada. Data sources examined include the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, the Homicide Survey, the Integrated Criminal Courts Survey, the Adult Corrections Survey, the Youth Custody and Community Services Survey, the Youth Alternative Measures Survey, the Transition Home Survey, the Victim Services Survey and the General Social Survey on Victimization. Finally, the report briefly describes efforts by other countries to improve justice-related information on their indigenous populations.
