Status of Women committee  Thank you. I'd like to begin by thanking the members of this committee for the invitation to present the most recent data on the issue of violence against young women and girls in this country. I'm accompanied today by Rebecca Kong, chief of the policing services program, who is

Status of Women committee  It's 15 years and over; therefore, we don't cover cyberbullying for people younger than 15 years old. It's a sample size of about 30,000. The survey was run in 2014 as part of a cycle of the general social survey.

Status of Women committee  We do have those numbers. Of course, when you're older and you look backward, there could be some telescoping factor happening about whether that had happened for real, or if it had happened before or after the age 18 or 15. I think it was 16 in that case. We do have the breakd

Status of Women committee  Cyberbullying is measured as part of what has happened in the last five years. It's not before the age of 15. What we found, very broadly because I don't have the number at hand, is that being separated into two big different age groups, those below 35 years old who almost share

Status of Women committee  I think we can look at the trend in reporting this type of offence, if it has gone down or up, but I don't think it has gone down or up. I think it has been quite stable over time.

Status of Women committee  It's hard to establish a relationship between an awareness campaign, which is something happening more at the micro level, and things we observe at the macro level with 30,000 as a sample size. We would first have to ask if they had been in contact or had been touched by some kin

Status of Women committee  For victimization as a whole, we observed that one of the most important factors explaining victimization later in life was having been a victim of childhood maltreatment. Of course, age plays a factor too. We looked at drugs habits, alcohol habits, and all these factors, and th

Status of Women committee  I'll give a very short answer to that. If you would allow me, I would like to perhaps provide a more detailed answer later to the clerk of the committee. Basically, I would say that the general social survey, which is a victimization survey, covers the role that the domestic vio

Status of Women committee  Definitely we will.

Status of Women committee  I can provide more information about the quality of the information we get from the GSS survey. This is a self-reported survey. Questions rely on thorough evaluation and focus groups. We want to make sure that we ask the right questions, in the right fashion, in the right order,

Status of Women committee  I don't have specific answers to that, but I think it could be related to exposure to vulnerable situations, such as being mentored or in situations where perpetrators could be a coach, or a teacher, or whatever. That could certainly be related. I don't know, there might be a way

Status of Women committee  No it's not. The survey is conducted under the Statistics Act, which protects confidentiality of responses. That is made clear to the respondents of the victimization survey. When it starts, Statistics Canada conducts a telephone interview. We can provide the committee with all t

Status of Women committee  We can look at what it is we're able to report on when we fall into a small category of respondents. Depending on the sample size and everything, race would be difficult to report especially for certain subgroups, but if we focus more on victimization at large rather than on a sp
