Self-reported sexual assault in Canada, 2014 / by Shana Conroy and Adam Cotter.: CS85-002/37-9E-PDF
"Statistics Canada uses two main data sources to collect information on crime: the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey for police-reported data, and the General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians’ Safety (Victimization) for self-reported data. Given that sexual assault is an underreported crime, self-reported data are essential for providing further insight into the nature and extent of sexual assault. Using data from the 2014 GSS on Victimization, this Juristat article presents information on self-reported sexual assault in Canada, including sexual attacks, unwanted sexual touching and sexual activity where the victim was unable to consent. The GSS on Victimization collects information from Canadians aged 15 and older, and respondents are able to provide details about their experiences of victimization, whether they were reported to the police or not"--Page 4.
