1. Found guilty decisions include absolute and conditional discharges.
2. Other decisions include transferred to another province or territory, unfit to stand trial and not guilty by reason of insanity.
3. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the terms 'acquittal' and 'dismissed' are used interchangeably.
4. Total case counts may be underreported for Nunavut, as there may be charge and case information from remote areas that is entered into their caseload management system several months after sending their data submissions for the Youth Court Survey.
Note: Due to rounding, percentages may not add to 100.
