Definition and concepts

This indicator measures the number of human trafficking incidents reported per 100,000 population.
Comment and limitations

“Total Human Trafficking” is comprised of two violation codes, 1525 “Trafficking in Persons” (S.279.01, 279.011, 279.02, 279.03 of the Criminal Code) and 6510 “Human Trafficking” from S.117 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Human trafficking incidents reported to the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey may be undercounted due to differences in police reporting practices for this violation.
Method of computation

Number of human trafficking incidents reported per 100,000 population = (Number of human trafficking incidents reported / Total population) × 100,000
