Chart 5
Rate of Indigenous homicide victims by sex, Canada, 2014 to 2018
Note(s):
Indigenous identity is reported by the police and is determined through information found with the victim, such as status cards, or through information supplied by the victims' families, community members, or other sources (for example, band records, or forensic evidence such as genetic testing). The year 2014 marked the first cycle of collection of the Homicide Survey data for which complete information regarding Indigenous identity was reported for victims of homicide. "Indigenous identity" includes those identified by police as First Nations persons (either status or non-status), Métis, Inuit, or an Indigenous identity where the Indigenous group was not known to police. Populations are based upon July 1, 2018, estimates from Statistics Canada.
