Note: Violent victimization includes physical assault and sexual assault. Excludes data from Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, which will be published at a later date. Province refers to current province of residence and therefore, particularly for estimates of lifetime victimization, may include experiences of victimization which occurred in other provinces or territories. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest decimal place.
