4 Youth criminal justice in Canada: A compendium of statistics Introduction This compendium presents an overview of statistical information on Canada s youth criminal justice system, including information on youth contact with the police, youth courts, and the youth correctional system from 1999 (a few years before implementation of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, YCJA, 23) to the most recent year with available data. 1 Youth includes persons aged 12 to 17 years, consistent with the YCJA. Many factors can influence statistics on police-reported youth crime, youth courts, and youth corrections, including police enforcement (related to factors such as resources, priorities, policies, and procedures), police and Crown charging practices, the structure and operation of courts and corrections, along with social and economic factors and public reporting to police. 2 Most incidents of victimization do not come to the attention of the police. Just under one-third (31%) of criminal incidents were reported to the police in This compendium follows the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) (Statistics Canada) reporting of the police-reported youth crime rate (which includes Criminal Code offences, excluding traffic and federal statute violations such as drug offences and offences related to the YCJA), as well as the police-reported Youth Crime Severity Index (YCSI) and youth court statistics (both of which include Criminal Code offences, including traffic offences, as well as federal statute violations). 1 Most information was publicly available in Statistics Canada s CANSIM database. The most recent information for police-reported youth crime was 214. The most recent information for youth courts and youth corrections was 213/ For more information on factors influencing police-reported crime, see Boyce, Jillian Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 214. Statistics Canada Catalogue no X. 3 Perrault, Samuel Criminal victimization in Canada, 214. Statistics Canada Catalogue no X. The victimization survey of Canadians aged 15 and older included the offences of sexual assault, robbery, physical assault, break and enter, motor vehicle/parts theft, household property theft, vandalism, and theft of personal property. Excludes incidents of spousal violence.

5 Youth population In 214, there were approximately 2.3 million youth in Canada aged 12 to 17. Aboriginal youth represented approximately 7% of youth in Canada in 214. The territories, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan had the highest proportion of Aboriginal youth (Chart 1).

Percent of Aboriginal youth (12-17), Canada, Percent (%) of Aboriginal youth in the Note: Aboriginal includes North American Indian, Métis, and Inuit, whether registered or not. Information was not available for Prince Edward Island. The proportion of Aboriginal youth in Nunavut was calculated at over 1% due to Statistics Canada s provision of population estimates in the thousands. The proportion of Aboriginal youth in Nunavut is likely less than 1%, so this proportion was set at 99%. Source: Statistics Canada, Custom tabulation based on Population Projections by Aboriginal Identity in Canada, Custom tabulation prepared by the Department of Justice Visible minority youth represented approximately 26% of youth in Canada in 214. Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta had the highest proportion of visible minority youth (Chart 2) Chart 2.

6 According to population projections, Canada s youth population will increase overall and in most jurisdictions over the next decade or so (Chart 3). 4 Estimates suggest that by 231, visible minority youth will make up 38% of youth in Canada and the Aboriginal youth population will remain relatively stable.

7 Police-reported youth crime Police-reported youth crime can be measured by the youth crime rate and the Youth Crime Severity Index (YCSI). 5 The youth crime rate measures the volume of police-reported Criminal Code offences, excluding traffic and federal statute violations such as drug offences and offences related to the YCJA. 6 The YCSI measures both the volume and seriousness of police-reported Criminal Code offences, including traffic and federal statute violations. 7 Each offence in the YCSI is assigned a weight based on its average court sentence, with more serious offences having a greater impact on the index. Youth crime rate According to police records, about 94,1 youth (aged 12-17) were accused of a criminal offence in 214, a rate of 4,16 per 1, youth in Canada (excluding traffic and federal statute offences). The majority (68%) of youth crime involved non-violent offences. 8 Youth crime rates were lowest in British Columbia (3,7 per 1, youth) and Quebec (3,31), and highest in the territories (e.g., 28,175 in Northwest Territories), Saskatchewan (11,816), and Manitoba (7,424) (Chart 4). 5 Information comes from the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR2), publicly available in Statistics Canada s CANSIM database, and differs slightly from that published in Statistics Canada s report Youth crime in Canada, 214, which draws from a different survey (the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey) and different method for counting accused. Information reflects nearly 1% of police services. For more information on the methodology behind police-reported crime statistics, see Boyce, Jillian Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 214. Statistics Canada Catalogue no X. Trends in youth crime are not directly comparable to trends in overall crime. The youth crime rate and Youth Crime Severity Index (YCSI) are based on the number of youth accused rather than the number of criminal incidents. For more information, see Boyce, Jillian Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 214. Statistics Canada Catalogue no X. 6 The youth crime rate is calculated by summing the number of youth accused of Criminal Code offences (excluding traffic and federal statute violations such as drug offences), then dividing by the population, and expressed as a rate based on 1, youth in the population. 7 The YCSI is calculated by summing the weighted offences and dividing by the population. To enable comparison, the YCSI is standardized to a base year of 1. For more information on the YCSI, see Wallace, Marnie et al. 29. Measuring crime in Canada: Introducing the Crime Severity Index and improvements to the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey. Statistics Canada Catalogue no X.; Babyak, Colin et al. 29.

SSC Annual Meeting, June 29 Proceedings of the Survey Methods Section. 8 Non-violent offences do not involve the use or threat of violence against the person.

Violent crimes involve the use or threatened use of violence against a person, such as homicide, assault, sexual assault, and robbery. Other Criminal Code offences include offences not classified as violent or property, such as mischief and bail violations.

Custom tabulation prepared by the Department of Justice Youth Crime Severity Index (YCSI) In 214, Canada s YCSI was 6.3. Like the youth crime rates, the YCSI was lowest in British Columbia (38.6) and highest in the territories (e.g., in Northwest Territories) and Saskatchewan (165.8) (Chart 1).

12 Police charging In 214, 45% of youth accused of a criminal offence were charged (excluding traffic and federal statute offences), and 55% were dealt with by some other means, such as a warning, caution, or referral to a community program. Since the implementation of the YCJA (23), the rate of youth who are not charged continues to be higher than the rate of youth who are charged, although this difference has narrowed since 29 (Chart 12).

13 Youth courts Caseload There were just under 4, youth court cases of Criminal Code and federal statute offences in 213/214 (including offences related to traffic, drugs, and the YCJA). 1 The number of youth court cases has declined over time, most notably with the implementation of the YCJA (23) (Chart 13). The 213/214 youth court caseload was the lowest number in 2 years (since data were first collected in 1991/1992). The number of cases declined among all offence categories (i.e., violent, property, other Criminal Code offences, traffic, drug-related offences, YCJA offences). Number of cases 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Chart 13. Number of youth court cases, Canada, 1999/2-213/214 Source: Statistics Table Youth courts, number of cases and charges by type of decision, annual (number), CANSIM (database). Custom tabulation prepared by the Department of Justice Decisions More than half (56%) of youth court cases in 213/214 resulted in a finding of guilt, and a further 41% were stayed or withdrawn (about 2% resulted in an acquittal). Findings of guilt have declined over time, while stays/withdrawals have increased (Chart 14). 1 A case represents one or more charges against an accused person or company that were processed by the courts at the same time and received a final disposition. Cases include violent, property, and other Criminal Code offences, as well as Criminal Code traffic offences, drug-related offences, and Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) offences. Information on youth courts comes from the Integrated Criminal Court Survey.

15 Sentences Probation, the most common type of youth court sentence, was imposed in 58% of youth court cases in Canada in 213/ Custody sentences were imposed in 15% of cases, down from 28% in 1999/2 (Chart 16). The decrease in custody has been offset somewhat by sentences to deferred custody and supervision, imposed in about 4% to 5% of cases since being introduced in 23 as an alternative to custody. 12 Percent (%) of cases Chart 16.

Custom tabulation prepared by the Department of Justice Probation is a community-based sentence which requires youth to abide by certain conditions, such as reporting to a probation officer and keeping the peace. 12 A deferred custody and supervision order allows youth who would otherwise be sentenced to custody to serve their sentence in the community under a number of conditions. Violations of conditions may result in the youth being sent to custody.

21 Youth corrections Community corrections On an average day in 213/214, there were approximately 9,5 youth in the correctional system in 14 Approximately 9% of these youth were in community corrections (Chart 28). 15 This was true across time and jurisdictions. 16 Chart 28.

Average counts provide a snapshot of the correctional population and represent the number of youth in custody or under community supervision on any given day. Source: Statistics Table Youth correctional services, average counts of young persons in provincial and territorial Most youth in community corrections were on probation (9%). A smaller proportion of youth were serving a community portion of a custody sentence (4%), an intensive support and supervision order (4%), or a deferred custody and supervision order (2%). Between 23/24 and 213/214, the proportion of youth in an intensive support and supervision program increased from 1% to 4%, and the proportion of youth serving a deferred custody and supervision order increased from 1% to 2%. 14 Information on youth corrections comes from the Youth Corrections Key Indicator Report, the Youth Custody and Community Services survey, and the Integrated Correctional Services Survey. For more information on the methodology behind youth correctional statistics, see Correctional Services Program Youth correctional statistics in Canada, 213/214. Statistics Canada Catalogue no X. 15 Community corrections includes probation (the most common type of community supervision), the community portion of a custody and supervision order, deferred custody and supervision, and intensive support and supervision programs. Intensive support and supervision is a sentence served in the community under conditions with closer monitoring and support than probation. 16 Excludes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Alberta, as well as Northwest Territories community corrections 1999/2-27/28, and Nunavut 1999/2-2/21.

22 Custody On any given day in Canada in 213/214, there were approximately 1,19 youth in custody, resulting in a youth incarceration rate of 6 per 1, youth population. 17 The incarceration rate includes sentenced custody, pre-trial detention, and Provincial Director remand. Youth incarceration rates were highest in Manitoba (29 per 1, youth population) and Nunavut (22), and lowest in British Columbia (2) and Ontario (4) (Chart 29). Chart 29.

Source: Statistics Table Youth correctional services, average counts of young persons in provincial and territorial Between 1999/2 and 213/214, Canada s youth incarceration rate declined from 18 to 6 per 1, youth (Chart 3). Youth incarceration rates declined in all jurisdictions during this time. 18 The largest drop coincided with the implementation of the YCJA (23). 17 The incarceration rate represents the average daily number of youth in custody for every 1, youth in the population. It includes youth in sentenced custody (secure and open custody), pre-trial detention, and Provincial Director remand. Pre-trial detention is the temporary detention of a young person in custody while awaiting trial or sentencing. 18 Quebec data was not available starting in 211/212. Ontario data was not available prior to 23/24. Alberta data were not available as of 212/213. Nunavut data were not available prior to 21/22.

In a smaller proportion (42%) of cases in which youth were admitted to pre-trial detention, the most serious offence was violent (Chart 45) Admissions describe the movements of youth from the time they enter correctional services until they leave. An admission is counted each time an individual begins or moves to any type of custody or community program. The same person can be included several times in the admissions counts whenever the individual moves from one type of legal status to another (e.g., from pre-trial detention to probation).

Custom tabulation prepared by the Department of Justice Aboriginal youth in corrections One-third (33%) of youth admitted to the youth correctional system in 213/214 were Aboriginal. 2 An even higher proportion of Aboriginal youth were admitted to sentenced custody (39%) and pre-trial detention (37%). Relative to their representation in the Canadian youth population (7% in 214), Aboriginal youth are overrepresented in the correctional system in Canada and in most jurisdictions (Charts 46-48). The disparity between Aboriginal and non-aboriginal youth in correctional services is more pronounced among female youth than male youth. In 213/214, Aboriginal female youth accounted for 43% of female youth admitted to the correctional system (3% male youth), 45% of female youth admitted to sentenced custody (38% male youth), and 49% of female youth admitted to pre-trial detention (33% male youth). 2 Excludes Nova Scotia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Alberta as data was not available. Excludes cases where sex was unknown. Includes cases where Aboriginal identity was unknown.

33 Conclusion Overall, police-reported youth crime has decreased in both volume and severity. Youth accused of a criminal offence are more likely to be diverted from the formal criminal justice system than charged by police. The youth incarceration rate has decreased across Aboriginal youth are overrepresented in the correctional system, especially female Aboriginal youth.
