"Using data from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey and the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (adult and youth), this Juristat article explores the prevalence and the nature of police-reported sexual offences against children and youth in Canada (see Definitions). In particular, the rate of victims reported by police, the types of offences, and characteristics of the victims as well as the accused persons are explored. Furthermore, information on the relationship between the victim and the accused, the length of time between the occurrence of an incident and its subsequent reporting to police, and decisions made by adult and youth courts are also analyzed"--Page 4.
