Adult Criminal Court Survey --------------------------- 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.

Fiscal year (April 1 through March 31). Due to rounding, figures may not add to totals. These data are administrative data. Although the surveys attempt to standardize the way in which status changes are counted, limitations due to differences among jurisdictional operations may restrict uniform application of the definitions in some situations. For this reason, inter-jurisdictional comparisons of the data should be made with caution. Nevertheless, as a result of consistent counting practices within jurisdictions over time, statements may be made about the trends within each jurisdiction.

Information on the number and rates of homicide, types and circumstances of homicide offences as well as the characteristics of victims and accused involved is provided by all police forces in whose jurisdiction a homicide occurs. Information related to homicide is available by respondent, by census metropolitan area, by province/territory and for Canada as a whole. This information is used to examine trends in homicides as well as characteristics of homicide incidents, such as age and gender of accused and victims, accused-victim relationships, and types of weapons.

In this report, municipal policing includes contract policing by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in seven provinces, by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Ontario and by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) in Newfoundland.
