Homicide in Canada, 2020 / by Amelia Armstrong and Brianna Jaffray.: CS85-002/41-17E-PDF
"Using data from Statistics Canada's Homicide Survey, this Juristat article first provides an overview of the context surrounding homicides in 2020, given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is followed by an analysis of changes in homicides in Canada over time and the characteristics of homicides committed in 2020. It presents information on the age and gender of homicide victims, the methods used to commit homicides (including the use of firearms), whether the homicide was determined to be gang-related, the relationship of the accused to the victim, as well as other characteristics of the accused. In addition, information is presented on homicide victims and accused who were identified as First Nations, Métis or Inuit"--Page 4.
