Abstract
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 Edmonton.
