Summary
"The purpose of the Multi-Site Survey of Victims of Crime and Criminal Justice Professionals is to gather information on a wide range of issues concerning the criminal justice system as it pertains to victims and criminal justice professionals, with a particular emphasis on recent Criminal Code provisions, specifically Bill C-79, which was introduced in 1999. To a more limited extent, the survey also explored perceptions regarding amendments recently made to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to provide victims with the opportunity to present prepared victim statements at parole board hearings. Findings from this study will generate evidence to inform future legislative reforms and policy changes by providing insight on the use and awareness of recent reforms by criminal justice professionals as they pertain to victims of crime, the nature of information provided to victims during the criminal justice process, victims' experiences with the legal provisions and other services that are intended to benefit them throughout the criminal justice process, and barriers to the implementation of recent reforms for criminal justice professionals. Given the breadth of findings in the final report the PCVI has prepared seven summary reports based on respondent groups in the survey. This report is a summary of the findings from the police officers who participated in the study."--Pages 1, 2.
