CHILD ABDUCTION STATISTICS 2021 FULL

An occurrence is considered as belonging to the year 2021 based on the reported 'Date Last Seen'. These algorithms are different from those used before 2015, so retroactive comparison to years before 2015 will not be completely correct. MC/PUR uses algorithms in an attempt to identify and eliminate duplicate data and produce more accurate statistics. CPIC transactions include repeat runaways, and situations where a single instance of a missing person may be entered and deleted multiple times by different agencies over a period of time. Therefore, it is limited by the quality and types of data that agencies enter into CPIC and the techniques used by MC/PUR to compile that data. The data in MC/PUR is derived from missing person transactions in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC).
