2016 Canadian Victim Services Indicators: Pilot survey evaluation and recommendations
CVSI survey: Content
Based on the results of the feasibility study, the CVSI survey content was limited to five baseline questions:
- A count of direct and secondary victims who received Victim Services in 2016, as new referrals, based on the agreed upon victim definition
- Breakdown of the victim counts by sex and age group
- Breakdown of the victim counts by type of offence, using agreed upon crime categories
- Caseload: count of services offered or provided to victims (new referrals), by service type
- Number of Victim or Community Impact Statements: forms provided and forms submitted.
These questions were chosen to provide the most relevant information that most jurisdictions felt they could provide according to the agreed upon definitions.
