| Note: YCCS units of count for Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador have been tabulated from micro-data based on standardized definitions that may differ from those being applied locally. In Alberta, there are substantial methodological differences such that these statistics cannot be produced by Alberta Correctional Services. Accordingly, caution should be used when comapring statistics produced independently by jurisdictions against similar statistics generated by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics. | ||||

| 1 Ontario data for 12- to 15-year-olds are unavailable for 2002/03 due to a consolidation of the two ministries responsible for young offenders into one. The new ministry is called the 'Ministry of Children and Youth Services'. | ||||
