… not applicable 1. Rates are calculated on the basis of 1,000,000 spousal population. Populations based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division. Note: Trends in spousal homicide are presented from 1991 onward to be in line with the availability of trend information on dating homicide and intimate partner homicide overall. Data on homicides between dating partners are not available prior to 1991. The Homicide Survey was revised and expanded in 1991 in an effort to respond to changing information needs. Spousal homicide refers to homicide committed by legally married, separated, divorced, and common-law partners. Includes victims aged 15 years and older. Excludes homicides where the sex and/or age of the victim was unknown. Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, Homicide Survey. |
