Note 1.

Based on the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, Trend Database, which represents 99% of police services in Canada.

Note 2.

Rate per 100,000 population.

Note: Calculating annual percent change in the overall rate of family violence victims is not possible for two reasons: 1) differences over the years in the number of rejected victim records; and 2) differences in the victim record requirements for violent offences (i.e., not all violent offences require the submission of information on the victim characteristics, such as the accused-victim relationship) and possible variations in the distribution of these offences over the years. Excludes incidents where the sex and/or age of victim was unknown. Victims aged 90 years and older are excluded from analyses due to instances of miscoding of unknown age within this age category.
