| Note: Due to rounding, percentages may not add up to 100%. | ||||
| 1 The total reflects jurisdictions that have provided data on the total number of cases of Alternative Measures. The percent distribution for Aboriginal Identity is not presented because the data are unavailable from several jurisdictions. | ||||
| 2 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'. | ||||
| 3 The reporting rate is so low that the data are not reportable from the data source. | ||||
