Refers to the proportion of a population that has
experienced a phenomenon.
For example the percentage of Australians aged 18
years and over in 2015 who were ever abused or
neglected as a child. Incidence refers to the number
of new cases occurring over a specified period of
time (normally a year), for example the number of
Australian children aged 0–17 years who were
abused or neglected during 2015.
Findings from the 2014 General Social Survey show that one-third of
Canadians aged 15 and older (33%) experienced some form of child
maltreatment before age 15. Child maltreatment includes physical and/or
sexual abuse by someone aged 18 or older, and/or witnessing violence by a
parent or guardian against another adult. Childhood physical abuse was
reported by 26% of Canadians, while 8% reported sexual abuse.
One in ten Canadians (10%) stated that, before age 15, they had witnessed
violence by a parent or guardian against another adult in the home. The
majority of child witnesses—7 in 10 (70%)—also reported having been the
victim of childhood physical and/or sexual assault. Those who witnessed
parental violence were more likely to have suffered the most severe forms of
physical abuse.
