Dating violence against teens aged 15 to 17 in Canada, 2009 to 2022 / by Danielle Sutton and Marta Burczycka.: CS85-002/44-4E-PDF

"Using self-reported and police-reported data, this Juristat article focuses on the experiences of dating violence against teens aged 15 to 17 in Canada. Section 1 explores self-reported data from the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS) to examine the frequency and severity of dating violence against teens in Canada, potential correlated factors, as well as its impacts and consequences. In Section 2, data from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey are used to show year-over-year trends in police-reported teen dating violence, including a brief discussion of spousal violence against teenage victims. Next, information is presented on geographic variations, incident characteristics and whether the case was cleared (i.e., solved) by police. A combination of data sources is essential to fully capture the realities of teen dating violence in Canada, considering issues of underreporting as well as the occurrence of abusive behaviours that may not meet the criminal threshold"--Page 4.
