Court outcomes associated with the gender-related homicide of women and girls in Canada, 2009/2010 to 2020/2021 / by Danielle Sutton and Adam Cotter.: CS85-002/43-7E-PDF
"Using a linked data file merging information contained in the Homicide Survey with the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey and the Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS), this Juristat article first provides a brief overview of the characteristics of gender-related homicides in Canada (for a detailed report please see Sutton, 2023a). Section 2 examines how cases of gender-related homicide of women and girls advanced through the criminal courts system over a 12-(fiscal) year period, from 2009/2010 to 2020/2021. Special attention is given to how these cases were treated at various stages of the criminal justice process and how their outcomes compared to non-gender-related cases of women and girls and to the homicides of men and boys. The final section presents data on how non-lethal incidents of gender-related violence—that is, attempted murders or aggravated assaults against a female by a male intimate partner or family member as well as aggravated sexual assaults against a female by a male regardless of relationship shared—proceeded through the courts system and whether their treatment differed from non-gender-related violent incidents"--Page 4.
