Résumé

"The multi-site survey was conducted under the Victims of Crime Initiative, which, through the Policy Centre for Victim Issues of the Department of Justice Canada, brings together federal, provincial, and territorial governments to respond to the needs of victims and improve victims' experiences in the criminal justice system. The purpose of this survey 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 as outlined above. Findings from this study will generate evidence to inform future legislative reforms and policy changes by providing insight on the following issues: use and awareness of recent reforms by criminal justice professionals as they pertain to victims of crime; 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."--Page 2.
