Note 1

Reconviction is defined as any new federal statute conviction (in any province or territory) with an offence date after release from full-time custody or start of an intermittent or community sentence and before the end of the fixed three-year follow-up period. Someone could have more than one type of new conviction, therefore, percentages for the different types of new convictions do not sum to the overarching category of any new conviction.
