Increasingly, the role and needs of the victim in Canada’s criminal justice process have been recognized. This has led to the development of a broad range of services to support and help victims recover from the impact of their victimization experience.
Until recently, there were no nationally available data on the number and types of victim service agencies in Canada. In an effort to fill this information gap, the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics through funding from Justice Canada’s Policy Centre for Victim Issues, conducted its first national survey of various types of victim services in 2003. Recognizing the need to monitor the number and types of victim service agencies and to address emerging issues in the field of victim services, the Victim Services Survey was repeated in 2005/2006.
This publication is based on data collected through the 2005/2006 Victim Services Survey and presents highlights of victim services at the national, provincial and territorial levels.
