 “Sexual violence and exploitation of children unfortunately is on the rise.”
Incidence of reported sexual violence and exploitation of children is on the rise. Not all forms of this crime are rising – some are in fact falling – but on the whole, the trend line is up. Statistics Canada notes the number of police-reported sexual violations against children marked “one of the few categories of violent violations to increase from the previous year.” Police-reported is a key term here, since a spike in reporting doesn’t always mean a spike in actual crime.
