Abstract:

This product is based on case characteristics data from the Adult
Criminal Court Survey. Data on disposed federal statute charges are
collected by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) in
collaboration with provincial and territorial government departments
responsible for adult criminal courts.

The primary unit of analysis is the case, which is defined as one or
more charges presented against an individual and disposed of in court on
the same day. All case information that is used to define the case, is
determined by the "most serious offence", as described in the
methodology section. The individuals involved are persons 18 years or
older at the time of the offence, companies, as well as youths who have
been transferred to adult criminal court.

Adult criminal courts in nine provinces and one territory
reported to the ACCS. Reporting jurisdictions include: Newfoundland and
Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec,
Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. In
addition, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon reported superior court data to
the ACCS. These jurisdictions represent approximately 90% of the
national adult criminal court caseload.
