Description: This Juristat article expands on previous analysis of gender-related homicide in Canada by drawing on multiple data files to examine the characteristics of accused persons over a 14-year period (2009 to 2022). Using data linking the Homicide Survey to the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, it first examines all other police contacts prior to and following the homicide among those accused of this crime. Information is also presented on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of these accused by linking data from the Homicide Survey with education, immigration, health and tax records.
