Note : The Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, Trend Database represents 99% of police services in Canada. Intimate partner violence refers to violence committed by married, separated or divorced persons, common-law partners (current and former), dating partners (current and former) and other intimate partners. Includes victims aged 15 to 89. Excludes incidents where the age or sex of the victim was unknown. Victims aged 90 years and older are excluded because due to instances of miscoding of unknown age within this age category.
