Note 1. Includes mental or physical disability, language, sex and other similar factors (e.g. occupation or political beliefs). Note: Information in this table reflects data reported by police services covering 86% of the population of Canada. It does not include police services reporting to the UCR2.2 Supplemental Survey. Accused persons younger than 12 are not included in this analysis. In 2011, there was information on 451 accused individuals aged 12 and over associated with 346 incidents. In 19% of these incidents, more than one accused was identified. Percentages do not always add to 100% due to rounding.
