Statistics Canada believes that this marked increase can be explained by a real increase in this type of crime , an increased level of awareness and reporting among the population or by an increase in resources and training of the police which allow them to better detect the sexual exploitation of children online. A combination of all these factors is also possible. Two in five online child sex offense files are resolved by police and 74% of cases cleared resulted in charges being laid or recommended against an alleged perpetrator.
