Recommendation 436:
We recommend the Attorney General, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, Canada, implement a recording system in which details of all sexual assaults and other sexual offences are recorded. Details to be recorded would include the charges laid, whether charges were reduced, whether charges were stayed, sentence imposed, summary of Crown submission on sentence, whether a victim impact statement was prepared and, if so, if it was presented to the court, the results of any plea bargaining, whether the conviction and/or sentence is appealed, recommendations regarding bail and conditions ultimately imposed, referrals to victim support services, and contact with the victim by Crown prior to trial. We also recommend the federal government support and encourage the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics to develop a national database that would allow the monitoring and tracking of sexual assault cases from the time of initial report to the police to ultimate disposition, as well as capture prosecutorial data.
