The table below shows the various statistics available for the 19th and 20th centuries. For the 19th century, the information is presented in alphabetical order while for the 20th, we have organized the table by legal area to make it easier to read. For the 20th century, the hypertext links refer to a detailed inventory which indicates, year by year, the information present for each statistic.

It should be noted that the discontinuation of a statistic does not mean its definitive disappearance ; like the statistics of the insane, deaf-mutes and blind who, in 1940, leaves judicial statistics to join the field of social statistics.
