An analysis of national statisticsby Julian V. Roberts.: J23-9/4-1991E

This report presents national statistics relating to sexual assault in Canada. Specifically, this study examines the incidence of reports of sexual assault; the unfounded rate (i.e., the percentage of reports declared to be without foundation); the incidence of actual offences; and the rate of actual offences that result in laying a charge against a suspect. The data are all derived from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) database administered by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (part of Statistics Canada). They focus on the period of 1976 to 1988, but particularly the six years since the passage of Bill C-127 (1983-1988). As well, this report presents comparative statistics for other offences against the person.--Preface
