Victim services in Canada, 2009/2010 / by Christopher Munch.: CS85-002/32-2E-PDF
"In Canada, there are a variety of government-funded victim service providers whose mandate is to provide services to both primary and secondary victims of crime. A primary victim of crime is a person who is the direct victim of a criminal offence, while a secondary victim of crime is a person who has suffered harm or loss as a result of an incident perpetrated against another person, for example, the spouse of a homicide victim.

In addition, information on the characteristics of clients who utilize these services is provided"--Page 6.
