Profile of Canadians who experienced victimization during childhood, 2018 / by Loanna Heidinger.: CS85-002/42-16E-PDF
"This Juristat article presents estimates of self-reported experiences of childhood victimization using data from the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS). The SSPPS asks Canadians over age 15 to report on instances of victimization during childhood, that is any experience of physical or sexual abuse by an adult before age 15. Using retrospective data from the SSPPS, the current article examines factors associated with an elevated likelihood of experiencing childhood victimization and further identifies outcomes that are associated with experiences of childhood victimization, including mental and physical health outcomes, drug and alcohol use, and subsequent victimization in adulthood. The article also includes information on additional experiences of child maltreatment, including experiences of emotional abuse and neglect and witnessing violence in the home. While child maltreatment is an important predictor of adult outcomes, the present article focuses on childhood victimization or experiences of physical or sexual abuse during childhood"--Page 4.
