Abstract: This analysis uses data from the 2018 Survey of Safety in Public and Private Spaces (SSPPS), which captures information on experiences of gender-based violence, feelings of safety in various places (e.g., at home, at work, online, in public), and abuse over the lifetime. The 2018 SSPPS employed retrospective reporting to collect information from individuals aged 15 years and older about their experiences of physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, exposure to intimate partner violence, and physical neglect before they were 15 years old (Statistics Canada, 2018). Using these data, this analysis examines the percentage of individuals living in Canada who reported experiencing no maltreatment, only non-physical types of maltreatment (e.g., emotional abuse, exposure to intimate partner violence and/or physical neglect), only physical types of child maltreatment (e.g., physical and/or sexual abuse), or both non-physical and physical child maltreatment.
