- Articles and reports: 85-002-X201200111628Geography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
Using data available from the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs, the article profiles a particularly challenging aspect of maintenance enforcement, interjurisdictional support order (ISO) cases of child and spousal support within nine provinces and territories: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The article gives a general overview of maintenance enforcement cases, followed by a detailed analysis of ISO cases, and concludes with a look at international ISO cases.
Release date: 2012-03-28 - Articles and reports: 85-002-X201100111424Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
Using data available from the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs, the article examines selected child and spousal support statistics by metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas within eight provinces and territories: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. A fact sheet is provided for each reporting jurisdiction.
Release date: 2011-03-29 - Table: 85-228-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription:
This publication contains statistical information on child and spousal support payments which are collected from maintenance enforcement programs (MEPs) across Canada. These programs, which exist in each province and territory, provide administrative assistance to recipients to help them collect their support payments. In March 2010, about 408,000 cases were registered in the 11 reporting MEPs.
Information is collected through the Maintenance Enforcement Survey (MES) and the Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs (SMEP). These surveys gather information on the caseload of the MEP, the sex and median age of payors and recipients, typical support amounts, compliance rates, information on arrears, frequency and amount of payments, legislation under which the order for support was made, and types of actions that are initiated in order to enforce support.
The SMEP, a micro data survey, is currently being implemented in some jurisdictions and eventually all 13 provincial/territorial MEPs will report to the SMEP. This report contains data from Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest Territories. In future years, with more provinces and territories able to report to the SMEP, a more complete national picture of maintenance enforcement will emerge.
Release date: 2010-09-17 - 4. Maintenance enforcement by neighbourhood income in seven reporting census metropolitan areas ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X201000111116Geography: Census metropolitan areaDescription:
This study looks at child and spousal support, and government enforcement of that support, in different neighbourhoods (Census Tracts, CTs) in the census metropolitan areas from reporting jurisdictions (Halifax, Saint John, Moncton, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary and Edmonton). CTs are grouped into income quintiles; comparisons are made between lower and higher income CTs on a variety of indicators.
Release date: 2010-03-25 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 85-552-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription:
This report presents a description of the organization and operation of provincial and territorial maintenance enforcement programs. It describes the relevant provincial legislation, highlights latest developments, provides a general description of each program, describes how each manages cases, intake/withdrawal procedures, tracing, monitoring, payment processing and enforcement practices. As such, the reader will be able to identify the variations and similarities between the various programs. All of the maintenance enforcement programs rely upon several federal acts to collect, trace and enforce support payments. Therefore, a review of the relevant federal legislation is presented first, followed by a description of each provincial and territorial maintenance enforcement program.
Release date: 2002-08-01 - 6. Spousal violence after marital separation ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X20010078393Geography: CanadaDescription:
Research studies have found a connection between spousal violence and separation, particularly for women. Using data from the 1999 General Social Survey, the 1993 Violence Against Women Survey, the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey and the Homicide Survey, this Juristat investigates the prevalence, nature and severity of violence that occurs following the breakdown of a marital union.
Release date: 2001-06-28 - 7. Spousal violence ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-224-X20000005249Geography: CanadaDescription:
The incidence and prevalence of spousal violence was measured through the 1999 General Social Survey. Both women and men were asked a module of ten questions concerning violence by their current and/or previous spouses and common-law partners. The nature of the violence under study ranged in seriousness from threats to sexual assault and concerned acts that happened in the 12-month and 5-year period proceeding the survey interview.
Release date: 2000-07-25 - 8. Abuse of older adults by family members ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-224-X20000005255Geography: CanadaDescription:
Since the 1980s, abuse of older Canadians has gained the attention of service providers, researchers, lobbyists, as well as policy makers. Abuse can include physical, psychological or financial mistreatment of adults over the age of 65 years. To date, a lack of data has made it difficult to quantify and truly understand the nature of abuse against older adults.
Release date: 2000-07-25 - Articles and reports: 85-224-X20000005257Geography: CanadaDescription:
Mistreatment of children and youth is a complex issue that can have devastating consequences and not only the children and youth involved, but on society in general. However, there is no single source for national data on the nature and extent of child mistreatment in Canada.
Release date: 2000-07-25 - 10. Homicide in Canada, 1998 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X19990108304Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
The most recent police-reported statistics indicate that the crime rate in Canada has decreased for the seventh consecutive year and is the lowest since 1979. Statistics from the United States and from many European countries show similar trends. However, data from studies such as the 1993 General Social Survey (GSS), the 1996 International Criminal Victimization Survey (ICVS), and national polls suggest that Canadians perceive crime as increasing and fear being a victim of crime in their neighbourhoods. The most feared crimes are those of a violent nature especially homicide – the killing of one human being by another - which tends to receive more media attention than any other criminal act. Despite this growing concern among Canadians about violence, the homicide rate has gradually been declining since the mid-1970s.
