The definition of “victim” is found in section 2 of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights and in the Criminal Code. I'll give you the one from the Bill of Rights. A victim is “an individual who has suffered physical or emotional harm, property damage or economic loss as the result of the commission or alleged commission of an offence.”
Under the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights and the Criminal Code, children who have not been abused by their parents are not considered victims of crime simply because their parents are incarcerated.
My colleagues from the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness could tell you about the tools and measures in place to help the families of those who are incarcerated.
