From arrest to conviction : court outcomes of police-reported sexual assaults in Canada, 2009 to 2014 / by Cristine Rotenberg.: CS85-002/37-13E-PDF
"This Juristat article examines justice outcomes of sexual assaults alongside physical assaults, where applicable, in order to provide an analytical point of reference. Both sexual and physical assault are violent offences, and both have three levels of severity as per the Criminal Code of Canada, with similar sentencing penalties (see Text box 1). While the nature of sexual and physical assaults is unquestionably different in terms of the motive of the accused and experience of the victim, physical assault is the best suited comparable offence type within the context of this analysis. Existing justice research has used physical assault as a yardstick from which to compare findings for sexual assault with respect to non-reporting, attrition and court outcomes (see Felson and Paré 2005; Thompson et al. 2007)"--Page 4.
