Many people consider Canada, particularly in comparison to its southern cousin, as a "peaceable kingdom." However, as the historical record demonstrates, Canadians have never been a thoroughly non-violent people. Violence in Canada highlights from an interdisciplinary perspective the major areas and contexts where violence takes place. Consisting of thirteen contributions, the book forms an indispensable guide to the subject. All of the authors are experts in their field, many with international reputations, and are drawn from the fields of sociology, political science, history, and criminology. The foreword by Ted Robert Gurr, author of Violence in America, is followed by an historical analysis of violence on the Canadian western frontier. Other scholars describe contemporary violence: by and against indigenous peoples, women, children, and the elderly; in labor-related disputes; homicide; police and prison violence; terrorism; and discuss government responses and policy implications. Each chapter specifically addresses the sociological and political dimensions of violence. The authors make ample use of statistics and empirical research. Jeffrey Ian Ross's introduction outlines the sociopolitical dynamics of violence, and his summary chapter offers directions for future research. When the book was first published in 1995 it was widely praised by scholarly journals and has since become a standard text in the study of violence and modern Canadian cultural studies. The book is all the more valuable as its new introduction places its findings in the context of research that has been produced since the original publication. Violence in Canada will be of interest to sociologists, criminologists, and political scientists. Jeffrey Ian Ross is an associate professor in the Division of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Social Policy and fellow with the Center for Comparative and International Law, University of Baltimore. His work has appeared in many academic journals and chapters in academic texts, as well as articles in popular magazines in Canada and the United States. He is the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of eight books. Ted Robert Gurr is Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland. Among his books are Why Men Rebel and Violence in America.

Violence against women is usually framed as an issue of interpersonal violence perpetuated by men. While domestic violence and sexual assault are significant social problems, such a narrow framing obscures the diversity of women's experience, fails to illuminate the role social structures play, and excludes discussions of workplace and state violence. By drawing on a range of theoretical traditions emerging from feminism, criminology, and sociology, Women and Gendered Violence in Canada significantly expands the conversation on violence against women. The first section of the book develops the conceptual and contextual framework that informs the remainder of the text, and the following three sections are organized around types of victimization: interpersonal, labour site, and state. Each chapter ends with lists of suggested activities, and first person narratives are integrated throughout to personalize the material and issues being examined.

Delving behind Canada’s veneer of multiculturalism and tolerance, Policing Black Lives traces the violent realities of anti-blackness from the slave ships to prisons, classrooms and beyond. Robyn Maynard provides readers with the first comprehensive account of nearly four hundred years of state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization and punishment of Black lives in Canada. While highlighting the ubiquity of Black resistance, Policing Black Lives traces the still-living legacy of slavery across multiple institutions, shedding light on the state’s role in perpetuating contemporary Black poverty and unemployment, racial profiling, law enforcement violence, incarceration, immigration detention, deportation, exploitative migrant labour practices, disproportionate child removal and low graduation rates. Emerging from a critical race feminist framework that insists that all Black lives matter, Maynard’s intersectional approach to anti-Black racism addresses the unique and understudied impacts of state violence as it is experienced by Black women, Black people with disabilities, as well as queer, trans, and undocumented Black communities. A call-to-action, Policing Black Lives urges readers to work toward dismantling structures of racial domination and re-imagining a more just society.

Although Canada is popularly viewed as "the peaceful kingdom", Canadians have never been a thoroughly non-violent people. Violence in Canada highlights the major areas and contexts where violence takes place. A foreword by Ted Robert Gurr (editor of the seminal Violence in America, 3/e) is followed by an account of historical violence on our western frontier. Other scholars describe contemporary violence: by and against aboriginal peoples, women, children, and the elderly; in labor-capital disputes; homicide; police and prison violence; terrorism; and government responses. Jeffrey Ian Ross's introduction outlines the sociopolitical dynamics of violence, and his summary chapter offers directions for future research. The book makes an important contribution to Canadian studies worldwide.

This report presents the results of a number of activities and projects undertaken by Statistics Canada to identify the nature and extent of violence in Canadian families. For the first time in Canada, detailed information about the prevalence and the circumstances of many forms of violence in the family are available at a national level. Under the renewed Family Violence Initiative announced by the federal government in February 1991, Health Canada requested the assistance of the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) in developing and co-ordinating a number of data collection activities. The overall objective of these activities was to address the need for improved information about family violence and services for victims and offenders. The overall strategy for the collection and analysis of national family violence information was composed of seven activities, the results of which are included in this report. Activities included: a national household survey on violence against women, a national survey of transition homes, a survey to examine cases of child abuse reported to pediatric hospitals, an inventory of residential services for abused women, an inventory of programs for men who batter, a descriptive study of legislation and services provided by provincial child welfare systems, and a project to improve the capacity of provincial information systems to provide criminal justice statistics in this area. This report also includes statistical information about cases of family violence reported to the police, domestic homicides, as well as a descriptive "case study" of the Winnipeg Family Violence Court. The definition of "family violence" that has guided the work of Statistics Canada and used throughout this report was developed under the Federal Family Violence Initiative and includes abuse of children, youth and older persons, and women by their male partners. Abuse can take a number of forms, including physical and sexual assault, intimidation, mental or emotional abuse, neglect, deprivation and financial exploitation. The term "family" refers to a grouping of individuals who are related by affection, kinship, dependency or trust. By using specific criteria and research tools to define and measure family violence, this report shows that violence in the family is a serious social and criminal problem in Canada.
