HT Guide is intended to support the efforts of courts not only in their traditional role of independent adjudicators, but also in their role as justice system and community leaders. Consequently, even though state court judges and personnel are the primary audience for the HT Guide, we are confident that numerous other groups concerned about human trafficking- such as health and human service organizations, law enforcement agencies, and victim advocates- should find it valuable too. In large part, because the role of state courts in addressing human trafficking is a recent topic to many court practitioners, the HT Guide includes considerable background and context-defining information about numerous aspects of human trafficking as well as practical guidelines and tools for directly assisting court practitioners in cases involving traffickers and trafficking victims.

Author: Ibrahim, Dyna Title: Violent victimization, discrimination and perceptions of safety: An immigrant perspective, Canada, 2014 Summary: Violent victimization, discrimination and perceptions of safety: An immigrant perspective, Canada, 2014: Highlights - According to the 2014 General Social Survey (GSS) on Canadians' Safety (Victimization), immigrants experienced violent victimization-which includes sexual assault, robbery and physical assault-at a rate of 39 incidents per 1,000 population; this rate was significantly lower than the rate among non-immigrants (86 per 1,000 population). - In 2014, there was a marked decline (-43%) in self-reported violent victimization rates among immigrants compared to what was reported in 2004 (39 incidents versus 68 incidents per 1,000 population); among the non-immigrant population, a decline of 26% was reported over the same time period (86 versus 116 incidents per 1,000 population). - In 2014, violent victimization rates were similar between immigrant men and women. This was not the case among the non-immigrant population where women were found to be at a higher risk for victimization than men. - Although most violent incidents against an immigrant did not lead to serious physical injuries, most had negative emotional consequences. About one in ten (12%E ) violent incidents led to symptoms that align with those associated with post-traumatic stress disorder. - The large majority of immigrants who were victims of violent crime did not believe their victimization was motivated by hate (76%). However, they were more likely than non-immigrants to report that the violence was gang-related (38%E compared to 11%E among non-immigrants). - More than half (53%) of immigrant victims of violence did not report the incident to police. Of all victims who reported the incident to police, immigrants were more likely to have been dissatisfied with police action than non-immigrants (55%E versus 28%). - Experiences of discrimination were more commonly reported by immigrants (17%) than non-immigrants (12%). This was more common among recent immigrants, those who had immigrated to Canada after 2004 than established immigrants, those who had immigrated to Canada earlier (20% versus 16%). - Immigrants who had experienced discrimination most often reported this occurring at work or when they were applying for a job or promotion (54%) and the most common reasons cited were their ethnicity or culture (54%) or their race or skin colour (47%). Recent immigrants were more likely to experience discrimination because of their language than established immigrants (42% and 27%, respectively). Details: Ottawa: Statistics Canada, 2018. 27p.

Author: Simpson, Laura Title: Violent victimization and discrimination among visible minority populations, Canada, 2014 Summary: Violent victimization and discrimination among visible minority populations, Canada, 2014: Highlights - According to the 2014 General Social Survey on Canadians' Safety (Victimization), the overall rate of self-reported violent victimization among visible minorities (55E incidents per 1,000 population) was significantly lower than among non-visible minorities (80 per 1,000). - Between 2004 and 2014 there was a significant decline (-44%) in the rate of violent victimization among the visible minority population, from 98 incidents per 1,000 population in 2004 to 55E in 2014. This decrease was much larger than that of the non-visible minority population (-25%). - Visible minorities reported being physically assaulted at a far lower rate than non-visible minorities (27E versus 53 incidents per 1,000 population), but were equally as likely to report having been sexually assaulted (21E and 21 incidents per 1,000). - Canadian-born visible minorities experienced violent victimization at a rate almost five times higher than that of their immigrant counterparts (143E versus 28E incidents per 1,000 population, respectively), suggesting that the lower rates of violent victimization observed among visible minorities are mainly attributable to immigrants. - One in five (20%) members of the visible minority population reported experiencing some form of discrimination in the five years preceding the survey. Of these, over three in five (63%) believed that they were discriminated against because of their race or skin colour. - Visible minorities expressed lower levels of satisfaction than non-visible minorities on three out of six indicators of police performance: being approachable and easy to talk to (62% versus 67%), providing information on ways to prevent crime (51% versus 57%), and treating people fairly (59% versus 63%).
