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.Release date: 2025-03-11

First Nations, Métis and Inuit people are overrepresented among victims of violence; a violence that may be rooted in the traumatic history of colonialization. In efforts to better understand the causes, consequences, nature and extent of violent victimization of Indigenous people in Canada, this Juristat article presents data from multiple sources, including the 2019 General Social Survey on Canadian’s Safety (victimization), the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces and the Homicide Survey. More specifically, the analysis will focus on lifetime and recent experiences (past 12 months) of violent victimization, trends in spousal violence and homicide, history of childhood abuse or neglect, perceptions of safety from crime, perceptions of the police and experiences of discrimination. Sociodemographic, economic and community-level characteristics statistically associated with these issues will be explored. Whenever possible, data will be disaggregated by Indigenous groups.
