A portal providing a broad range of crime and justice statistics from across the country.

High level outcomes of the criminal justice system in nine areas: safe communities; fair and accessible; confidence in the system; operation of the system; resolution mechanisms; correctional supervision; victims and survivors; Indigenous people; marginalized and vulnerable people.
