Note 1

A case is one or more charges against an accused person or company, which were processed by the courts at the same time (date of offence, date of initiation, date of first appearance, or date of decision), and received a final decision. The definition attempts to reflect court processing. All data have been processed using this case definition. The case definition changed for the 2006/2007 release of data. The former definition (used in Statistics Canada releases prior to October 2007) combined all charges against the same person disposed of in court on the same day into a case. Consequently, comparisons should not be made with data tables and reports released before that time.

Notes: This product is based on data collected from the youth component of the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS).The individuals involved are persons aged 12 to 17 years at the time of the offence. Includes cases where the age of the accused is unknown. Data are based on a fiscal year (April 1 through March 31). Cases are counted according to the fiscal year in which they are completed. However, these counts do not include cases that were pending a final decision at the end of the reference period. If a final decision is reached in the next fiscal year, then these cases are included in the completed case counts for that fiscal year. However, if a one-year period of inactivity elapses, then these cases are deemed complete and the originally published counts for the previous fiscal year are subsequently updated and reported in the next year's release of the data. Historically, updates to a previous year's counts have resulted in an increase of about 2%.
