Description

The purpose of this survey was to collect baseline information on public attitudes toward family violence in Alberta. The province-wide telephone survey was designed in large part on a survey instrument previously used to collect similar opinions on a national scope in 2002, which allows for an examination of differences in opinions over time. The study included a broad range of issues, including: public understanding and awareness of family violence; levels of tolerance for family violence; behavioural intentions with respect to family violence; support for various ways to deal with family violence; public awareness of bullying; and, levels of concern about children’s exposure to violence in their daily lives.
