- 1. Economic profiles of offenders in Saskatchewan ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X201800154976Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This Juristat article examines economic factors that differentiate those who come into contact with the justice system once, compared to those who have repeated contact. Linking justice data from the Saskatchewan re-contact analytical file and tax information from the T1 Family File, this article provides an economic and employment profile of adults who had contact with Saskatchewan police between April 2009 and March 2010. In addition, inequalities in certain measures of health and social well-being among those who had a contact with Saskatchewan police between 2009 and 2010 are also explored.

It includes a comparison of clearance rates for selected violent and non-violent crimes, such as homicide, robbery, sexual assault, break-ins and motor vehicle theft. The report also examines options that police have for clearing incidents, including the laying of formal charges or by other means such as alternative measures for youth.
Release date: 2012-06-07 - 3. Adult criminal court statistics, 2008-2009 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X201000211293Geography: Province or territoryDescription:

Information is presented on the characteristics of accused persons and their court cases as well as criminal court case outcomes (i.e., decisions and sentencing details). Additionally, a section on case processing presents some characteristics of lengthier criminal court cases.
Release date: 2010-07-28 - 4. Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2009 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X201000211292Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report presents information on the short and long-term trends in police-reported crime at the national, provincial/territorial and census metropolitan area levels. It includes information on both the volume and the severity of overall, violent and non-violent crime as well as data on crimes committed by youths aged 12 to 17.
Release date: 2010-07-20 - Articles and reports: 85-002-X201000211241Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2008, there were about 167,500 youth accused of a police-reported Criminal Code offence and another 27,600 youth were accused of drug and other federal statute violations. To gain a better understanding of the nature of youth crime in Canada (i.e., crimes where the accused was a youth aged 12 to 17), it is useful to consider where and when these crimes occur. Using information from the 2008 Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR2), this report examines the location, time of year, day of the week and time of day of police-reported youth crimes.
Release date: 2010-06-29 - Journals and periodicals: 85-571-XGeography: CanadaDescription:

Data used in this report are from the Survey of Fraud against Businesses, 2007-2008. The Survey of Fraud against Businesses provides national-level data on the prevalence and types of fraud experienced, how businesses respond to incidents of fraud, the monetary and non-monetary costs of fraud and fraud detection and prevention practices.
Release date: 2009-12-10 - Journals and periodicals: 85-004-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This report introduces the Crime Severity Index, a new tool for measuring police-reported crime in Canada that for the first time tracks changes in the severity of crime, not just volume.The report also examines how crime is measured in Canada, as well as recent improvements to statistics on crime that are gathered from the police.
Release date: 2009-04-21 - 8. Child luring through the Internet ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X200900110783Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Internet is a virtual world filled with an abundance of information and endless sources of entertainment. While an extraordinary tool, the Internet comes with risks. For children these risks include the dangers of sexual exploitation, such as luring through the Internet.
Presently, there is little data available on child luring. The information that does exist represents only those incidents that have been reported to the police. Therefore, it is difficult to quantify the full extent and nature of child luring offences in Canada. Nonetheless, using the first available police-reported data on child luring, this Juristat article presents a snapshot of the characteristics of this relatively new criminal offence and the people accused of committing it, as well as an examination of court cases and decisions for child luring offences.
Release date: 2009-03-12 - 9. Sexual Assault in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 85F0033M2008019Geography: CanadaDescription:
Since only a small proportion of sexual offences are formally documented, the prevalence of sexual assault in Canada has been difficult to quantify. Using data from the 1999 and 2004 General Social Surveys (GSS) on victimization and police-reported data derived from the aggregate Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR) and the incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR2), the prevalence and nature of sexual assault in Canada is examined. Specifically, this report examines rates of sexual victimization; characteristics of victims and offenders; rates of police reporting; reasons for not reporting to police; the emotional effects of sexual victimization; as well as fear of crime and the use of precautionary measures by victims of sexual assault.
Release date: 2008-12-09 - 10. Youth Crime in Canada, 2006 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X200800310566Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This report analyzes police-reported data on crimes committed by youth aged 12 to 17 in Canada in 2006. An examination of trends in youth crime since the 1991 peak as well as more recent trends with particular reference to the period following the implementation of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) in 2003 is also presented.
The report distinguishes between violent crime, property crime, 'other' Criminal Code offences and drug-related offences. Changes in the use of formal charges versus alternate means to handle youth accused of a crime following the introduction of the YCJA are also examined. Other topics discussed include youth crimes occurring at school, the presence of weapons in youth crime, and changes to youth court caseloads and youth correctional services after the implementation of the YCJA. Data from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR) are presented within the context of both short and long term trends and at the national, provincial and territorial levels. The data are intended to respond to the needs of those who work in the criminal justice system as well as to inform researchers, policy analysts, academics, the media and the public on the nature and extent of youth crime in Canada.
