Cases that involve more than one charge are represented by the most serious offence. Data exclude cases involving companies and those in which the sex of the accused was unknown. Data also exclude information from superior courts in Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as well as municipal courts in Quebec due to the unavailability of data.
