| Notes: Homicide includes Criminal Code offences of murder, manslaughter and infanticide. Includes all persons who are accused (by police) as having committed a homicide. Accused data have been revised according to updates provided by police services. Figures in this table do not necessarily agree with figures from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey where youth accused include a small number of accused under the age of 12.
