Police-reported incidents of online child exploitation, Canada, 2014 to 2022
Note(s):
Prior to 2020, the number of cybercrimes is an undercount, as some police services were unable to report the cybercrime indicator for all years. The data exclude the Québec City Police in 2014 and 2015, the municipal police service of Calgary from 2014 to 2016, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) from 2014 to 2017 and both the Saint John Police Force and the Canadian Forces Military Police from 2014 to 2019. For 2022, the data exclude Dryden, a detachment of the OPP. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 children and youth aged younger than 18 years. Populations are based upon July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography.
