Info

Within our sample, there were no statistically significant differences on these three criminal victimization measures based on gender, race, or status as a racialized or nonracialized youth. However, statistically significant differences were found on the basis of sexual orientation, Indigenous status, and the age at which a youth first left home, with respect to both total victimization and violent victimization. As shown in Table 21, LGBTQ2S youth and Indigenous youth were much more likely to have been victimized than non-minority and non-Indigenous youth. Participants who left home at a younger age were also more likely to report criminal victimization.
