The full dataset for the 2019 General Social Survey (GSS) – Canadians' Safety is now available. In addition to the information that was released in November 2020, this final release includes data from the territories, the Incident File (details of vandalism, thefts, threats and non-conjugal assaults that occurred over the previous 12 months), and income data. The November 2020 file included provincial data on perceptions of crime and safety, intimate partner violence, fraud, and discrimination, as well as health and well-being.
The main objective of the GSS on Canadians' Safety is to better understand issues related to the safety and security of Canadians, including perceptions of crime and the justice system, experiences with intimate partner violence, experiences with crime, and the degree to which people feel safe in their communities. This survey is the only national survey of self-reported victimization for this array of crimes, collecting data on crimes both reported and unreported to police.
