Note 3

In 2017/2018, Newfoundland and Labrador youth justice began reporting to a new survey, the Canadian Correctional Services Survey (CCSS). The range of documents accepted by the CCSS is broader than the previous survey, the Integrated Correctional Services Survey, and includes data on conditional discharges, personal service orders, compensation orders and prohibition orders. Much of the increase in admissions in 2017/2018 can be attributable to this methodology change.

Note: Additional data are available on Statistics Canada table 35-10-0005. An admission is counted each time a person begins any type of custody or community supervision program. The same person can be included several times in the admissions count where the individual moves from one type of legal status to another or re-enters the system in the same year.
