Violent and Household Victimization Rates, Canada and Provinces

Violent and Household Victimization Rates, Canada and Provinces This Alberta Official Statistic describes the violent and household victimization rates for Canada and provinces for the year 2004, 2009 and 2014. The rate is based on incidence per 1,000 population in each province. The Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) utilizes the results of the General Social Survey (GSS) to measure self-reported victimization. The GSS gathers information on social trends over time and measures the wellbeing of Canadians. The victimization portion of the survey is designed to look at the nature of criminal victimization in Canada. The 2014 GSS had 33,127 respondents aged 15 and older living in the 10 provinces. The cycle on victimization, which is conducted every five years, collects information on personal accounts of criminal victimization for eight crime types: sexual assault, robbery, physical assault, break and enter, theft of motor vehicles or parts, theft of household property, vandalism and theft of personal property. This Alberta Official Statistic includes violent crime (sexual assault, robbery, physical assault) and household crime (breaking and entering, theft of motor vehicles or parts, theft of household property, vandalism). Comparisons among provinces and time periods should be made with caution as not all differences between provincial estimates are statistically significant.
