The findings in this report are drawn from the comprehensive evaluation of the Capital Region Home Visitation Network. More specifically, this report has two major objectives as follows: 1. To present an analysis of descriptive information about the clients in all the sites in the Capital Region Home Visitation Network including the following: • program activities: contacts, goal summaries, and community referrals; and • program outputs: client profiles, client intake, demographic characteristics, and risk assessments. 2. To present an analysis of program outcomes based on: • outcomes data collected from a core set of outcomes measurement tools, aggregated and summarized regionally; • a survey of clients’ experiences and views of the Home Visitation program; • involvement with Child Welfare services; and • utilization of health care services.Item Metadata only Evaluation of the Classroom on Wheels Programs in Edmonton(National Crime Prevention Centre., 2003) Hornick, J.P.; Wagner, H.A.; Gomes, J.T.; Bertrand, L.D.Item Metadata only Experiencing Violence: A Comparison of Victimization Among Youth and Adults in a Western Canadian Province(2001) Gomes, J.T.; Boyle, P.J.; Bertrand, L.D.; Paetsch, J.J.; Hornick, J.P.Item Metadata only The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta(2000) Gomes, J.T.; Bertrand, L.D.; Paetsch, J.J.; Hornick J.P.Item Open Access The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999(Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family., 2000-03-03) Gomes, J.T.; Bertrand, L.D.; Paetsch, J.J.; Hornick, J.P.This report provides information about youth victimization, crime and delinquency in Alberta. In-school surveys of youth aged 12 to 18 years living in selected larger cities, smaller cities and towns and rural areas were conducted in 1999. The findings presented in this report describe students' perceptions of youth crime and personal safety, victimization experiences occurring while at school and outside of school over the past year, lifetime and past year involvement in delinquent behaviours, prevalence of weapon possession at school, and contact with the police and criminal justice system. The survey instrument was designed to collect data on variables related to major social and psychological environmental factors known to be associated with youth victimization and delinquency using a self-report method. Besides measures of prevalence of youth victimization and delinquency, additional information was gathered to describe the context of the experience for the most serious incidents that occurred over the past year. While findings in this report include all of the 2,001 respondents, two additional reports have been prepared in order to provide more in depth analyses of Calgary and of Edmonton students. These reports are titled: The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999: Summary of Calgary Findings; and The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999: Summary of Edmonton Findings.Item Open Access The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999: Summary of Calgary Findings(Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family., 2000-03-01) Bertrand, L.D.; Gomes, J.T.; Hornick, J.P.In 1999, the Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family (CRILF), in partnership with researchers from the University of Alberta, undertook a project to examine the extent of youth victimization, crime and delinquency in Alberta. The project was designed to provide information on the prevalence of victimization and delinquent behaviours among youth using an in-school written survey of students in grades 7 through 12. In addition, the study also examined other characteristics such as demographics and family, peer group and school factors that might be related to victimization and delinquency. Detailed findings from the Alberta-wide project are presented in a companion report. The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the victimization and delinquency data collected from the students in Calgary. A secondary purpose of this report is to examine changes in the level of youth victimization and delinquency in Calgary over the past five years. In 1994, CRILF conducted a similar study for the Calgary Police Service with funding from the Solicitor General Canada. By comparing the results from the present study with those collected previously, it is possible to address the issue of changes in victimization and delinquency during this period.Item Open Access The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999: Summary of Edmonton Findings(Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family., 2000-03-02) Bertrand, L.D.; Gomes, J.T.; Hornick, J.P.In 1999, the Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family (CRILF), in partnership with researchers from the University of Alberta, undertook a project to examine the extent of youth victimization, crime and delinquency in Alberta.

A major concern was that the justice system needs to be more effective in providing and supporting active and meaningful roles for victims within the justice process. Another concern was that victims be given appropriate and adequate support in terms of, for example, education and counselling. Recommendations also called for more and better use of victim impact statements. Additionally, the need was expressed for members of the justice system to be more sensitive to and aware of the issues and experiences surrounding victimization. Discussions from the Summit provided the rationale and focus for conducting this research project. The purpose of this project was primarily to examine the extent to which Albertans experience victimization and the nature and consequences of that experience. Traditional conceptualizations of victimization have adopted a legal definition of victimization. There has been increasing recognition, however, of a need for a broader approach by recognizing that victimization is also experienced outside of the legal realm. This research addressed this issue by providing survey-based data on victimization experiences. As well, this research offers an alternative measure of victimization than what is reported in official police statistics such as the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey. 1.2 Objectives of the Project This research project has the following main objectives: 1. To collect data in order to: (a) examine the nature of victimization; (b) measure the scope of victimization; (c) identify the needs of victims; and (d) examine the impact of victimization on different groups. 2. To review current provincial and federal legislation, as well as selected legislation in other countries, in the area of victimization. 3. To compare the context of victimization experiences that are reported as part of an official process as compared to experiences not officially reported. 4. To identify ways in which the needs of victims could be more effectively met.
