Resilience and Survivors of Violent Crime
Benjamin Roebuck, Holly Johnson, Diana Eisenfeld, Maryann Roebuck, Jennifer Barkley | Published in 2020
In partnership with the Victim Justice Network, researchers at Algonquin College and the University of Ottawa conducted a mixed methods study that sought to answer the questions: 1. How do people recover from violence? 2. What supports and resources are most meaningful and helpful to victims and survivors of violence? Base on survey responses from 435 survivors of violence across Canada and 71 qualitative follow-up interviews, this report presents a summary of results on the health impacts of violence, experiences accessing support, what was helpful or unhelpful following an experience of violence, how participants felt they had changed, and if they identified with words like victim or survivor. We explored what resources people tended to access most, how satisfied they were with experiences in the justice system, and levels of self-reported post-traumatic growth.

Documenting International Crimes and Human Rights Violations for Criminal Accountability Purposes: Guidelines for Civil Society Organisations
European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust), the EU Network for investigation and prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes (Genocide Network), and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court | Published in 2022
The guidelines aim to assist civil society organisations to collect and preserve information related to international crimes and human rights violations, which may become admissible evidence in court. A series of proposed ‘do’s and don’ts’ are provided, on what may be helpful and what could potentially harm criminal accountability efforts. These Guidelines respond to a request from multiple civil society organisations and stakeholders in the accountability field who have indicated a need for guidance to ensure that the information they collect can potentially be used as evidence in future prosecutions at the national or international level.
