I believe it's because of the advance in technology that is making the world more accessible to anybody around the globe. Obviously it's a transnational type crime. The crimes that are being committed are not necessarily being committed by somebody in Canada. They can reach into Canada from anywhere in the world, and as a result, more people end up being victimized.
I don't have the comparison chart but I'm sure if we were to compare the number of Internet users to the increase in the number of victims, there would be some relation.
