An instrument to collect information on victims entering in the justice system

In 2008-09 the Canadian observatory members focused on developing a data collection instrument focusing on victims entering the justice system. The focus is presently on information collected by Victim Services, the kinds of information available on victims entering the justice system, and how best to initiate research using quantitative instruments to capture victim experiences. This component is led by Dominique Damant and Sonia Gauthier in Quebec, Margaret Jackson in British Columbia, Myrna Dawson and Holly Johnson in Ontario, Carmen Gill and Elizabeth Blaney in New Brunswick, and Robyn Holder in Canberra, Australia.

2008

New projects undertaken

International partners: In 2008, the Canadian observatory received $71,000 from SSHRC through the International Opportunities Fund. This funding provides the Canadian observatory with resources to establish a research project with our team researchers in Australia, United Kingdom, and the United States. This project will help us to create standardized international data sets of justice data on courts, including specialized domestic violence courts, coordinated domestic violence service delivery, and police and prosecutors’ policies and procedures. The objective of this one year research project is to obtain a clearer international picture of intimate partner violence and how intimate partner violence cases are processed through criminal justice systems. The data collection grid will be piloted in Canberra and Wagga Wagga in Australia, led by Dr. Paul Mazerolle; in London, England, led by Dr. Liz Kelly; and in New York, led by Michael Rempel.
