Data Transparency Initiative
Victims/Alleged Victims
The CCRB collects data on five types of individuals associated with allegations of police misconduct:
-
A complainant is an individual who files a complaint that was neither subject to alleged misconduct nor a witness to the incident.
-
A complainant/victim is an individual who files a complaint and is subject to alleged misconduct.
-
A complainant/witness is an individual who files a complaint and witnessed, yet is not the subject of alleged misconduct.
-
A victim is an individual who is subject to alleged misconduct.
-
A witness is an individual who observes the alleged misconduct.
The forthcoming data will examine only victims or complainant/victims (i.e. all victims) of alleged police misconduct.
Note: Providing ethnic/racial, gender and age information is optional on complaint forms. Therefore, all the data in this section pertains to provided information.
