11 25TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE Congratulations to the PEI Police Association for continuing their good work once again, in producing their 25th Annual Crime Prevention Guide. This year the Association has picked ‘Family Violence Awareness’ as their topic for the guide. This topic is one that has been at the forefront for police agencies lately, and is an issue that requires ongoing training for police officers to more effectively deal with these types of situations. Family violence is a pattern of behavior which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic or family setting. Family violence can take place in heterosexual or same-sex relationships, and sometimes also involves violence against the children in the family and can take a number of forms including physical, verbal, emotional, economic and sexual abuse. Globally, a wife or female partner is more commonly the victim of family violence, although the victim can also be the male partner. In a recent release Norma McColeman, the coordinator for East Prince Family Violence Prevention Inc., stated she believes the solution to end the cycle of domestic abuse and violence is education and awareness. She went on to say, "Let's work together because, with many people working together, both women and men, we can really make a difference. We've come a long way in the past 25 years but there's more education and awareness around the issues and the root causes of domestic abuse and violence, and I think that's really important." Family violence is everyone’s business so we cannot, and must not, shut the door on the home and say it’s not our business. Indeed several strides have been made in protecting victims of family violence, notably the introduction in 1996 of P.E.I.’s Family Violence Protection Act. The act does what the Criminal Code can’t, immediately securing safety of the victim by allowing emergency protection orders to be put in place with the victim’s consent. This can be done when police are called to a home, long before the alleged abuser goes to court. The short-term order can give a victim temporary custody of children and possession of the family home. It can also ensure the abuser hands over things like car keys and medical cards and keeps paying household bills. We do know that family violence is all too common. Reported numbers reflect only a small fraction of the real picture as most incidences of family violence go unreported. The impact of family violence is far reaching. Children of family violence are among those who suffer the most, and sadly the research suggests that boys that grow up in a home with family violence are more likely themselves to become abusers as adults. Everyone can do their part to end family violence by providing non-judgmental support and awareness to someone being abused, and encouraging them to report the abuse to police and by simply letting them know they are not alone. Every human being on this earth has the right to live his or her own life without fear and this awareness must be relayed to victims of family violence. J.

13 25TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE MESSAGE FROM CHARLOTTETOWN’S CHIEF OF POLICE This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary for the PEl Police Association. Part of the work of the Association involves the production of an annual crime prevention/awareness guide. Each year the guide provides educational material and information which helps raise awareness and provide discussion points on an important issue facing our communities. This year the guide focuses on the issue of Family Violence. Family Violence can take on many forms: assaultive behaviour; a reckless act or omission that causes injury to a person or property; an act or threat that causes a reasonable fear of injury to a person or damage to property; forced confinement of the victim; actions or threats of sexual abuse, physical abuse or emotional abuse of the victim; and depriving a victim of food, clothing, medical attention, shelter, transportation or other necessities of life. Family Violence reaches across spectrums of society and is not influenced by education, income or occupation. A great deal of work has occurred across various levels of government, policing agencies and organizations such as PEl Family Violence Prevention Services to promote awareness on this issue. The information contained in this guide is useful and informative. Education and information are key components to making our communities safer. The information provided in this guide; coupled with your willingness to talk about the issue with a friend, family member,or co-worker can be the first step in getting them help and preventing the cycle of violence. The production of this guide and other guides not only raise awareness on important issues, but also assist the Police Association in the efforts to fund and support very worthwhile projects within our Island communities. On behalf of the members and staff of the Charlottetown Police Services, I would like to congratulate the PEl Police Association for the production of this year’s community guide, and wish the Association every success in the future. Yours truly, A. Paul Smith, O.O.M. Chief of Police

29 25TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE Family violence is any form of abuse or neglect that a child or adult experiences from a family member, or from someone with whom they have an intimate relationship. It is an abuse of power by one person to hurt and control someone who trusts and depends on them. All family violence is wrong. Some of it is against the law. Many terms with similar meanings The different terms used for family violence can have slightly different meanings depending on where and how they are used, such as in a courtroom or a hospital. For example, domestic violencecan sometimes mean family violence and sometimes it means intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence refers to physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse and can also be called dating violence between couples who are not married. The terms violence against women and genderbased violence are also used. Child abuse is sometimes called child maltreatment or neglect, and elder abuse is sometimes referred to as neglect. Family violence affects Canadians in all types of families and relationships-no matter how old they are, where they live, or how much money, education or type of job they have. It can affect people of every race, religion and sexual orientation. Violence can happen between anyone in a family or in a close intimate relationship (e.g., boyfriend, girlfriend or fiancée), including children, parents, grandparents, siblings, intimate partners and extended family—like uncles or stepparents. It can happen in opposite sex and same-sex couples. Examples of family violence: •child abuse, including neglect and childhood exposure to intimate partner violence • intimate partner violence, including dating violence •elder abuse and neglect •early and forced marriage, and "honour"-related violence • female genital mutilation Some common forms of family violence include: Physical abuse—physical injury or death of a family member or intimate partner caused when someone: •pushes, shoves, hits, slaps or kicks •pinches or punches •strangles or chokes •stabs or cuts •shoots •throws objects •burns •holds someone down for another person to assault • locks someone in a room or ties them down WHAT IS FAMILY VIOLENCE?

35 25TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE Is someone you know being abused? If you think that someone you know is being abused by a family member, it is important to act in a way that is safe and appropriate for everyone involved. Family violence is not a private matter You might be concerned about getting involved because you feel that family violence is a private matter and none of your business, but it's important to remember that someone's life may depend on it. Signs that someone may be a victim of abuse Pay attention if someone... •seems sad, withdrawn, afraid or otherwise acts like they may be a victim of abuse. • is unreasonably angry or aggressive. • is nervous when a particular family member is around. •makes excuses for a family member's behaviour. • is sick or misses school or work a lot, or takes paid or unpaid time off that seems related to an abusive situation. •has a change in job performance: poor concentration, mistakes, slowness, inconsistent work quality. •tries to cover bruises. •drinks more than usual or uses drugs. Or if you see... • "put downs" from one family member to another. •one family member doing all the talking or dominating the conversation when the other family member is present. •one family member trying to keep another family member away from her/his work or other activities. •one family member acting as if he/she "owns" another. •a family member contacting another while at work to say something that might scare or intimidate her/him. What you can do Family violence is never the victim's fault. The most important thing that you can do is offer your support without any blame or judgement... •Make sure everyone is safe- Choose a time and place where you can have a private conversation. Be careful about communication-a voice message, text or email could put someone in danger. Never confront an abuser or do anything that makes you feel unsafe. Get support for your own feelings from a friend or professional you trust. •Let the person be in charge - Listen respectfully to what this person needs; don't try to take over. Don't give details about why you're concerned; just say that you want to be supportive.

39 25TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE Patterns of family violence continue from one generation to another A child or teenager who is abused, or exposed to intimate partner violence, is more likely to be abused as an adult or to become an abuser. This makes prior experience of family violence a risk factor. Family violence can happen in any family or community. Research shows that while some factors may help protect families from violence (protective factors), others are related to a higher risk (risk factors). These factors do not cause family violence; they are related to level of risk, with exposure to multiple risk factors making families more vulnerable. Strengthening protective factors and reducing risk factors that make families vulnerable can help to prevent family violence. Protective and risk factors are related to family violence at many levels-society, community, relationship, and individual-and each level impacts all of the others. For example: A society's values and beliefs influence laws and can send a message about whether or not violence is tolerated. This message can influence the community-level programs or services that can help prevent or respond to family violence. Together, society's values, laws and community supports can impact family relationships and individuals - both to help people relate to each other in safe ways, and to develop resilience to cope with difficult or harmful situations.

45 25TH ANNUAL CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE Information Sheet Between 1999 and 2004, more than half a million men in Canada had a female partner who was violent toward them. The partner might have been a wife, an ex-wife or a common-law partner. This means about six per cent of men in intimate relationships have experienced abuse or violence from their partners.1 MENABUSED BYWOMEN So what is abuse? •Abuse in intimate relationships is a pattern of behaviours where one partner dominates, belittles or humiliates the other. •Abuse of men by their partners happens when the partner uses emotional, physical, sexual or intimidation tactics. She* does it to control the man, get her own way and prevent him from leaving the relationship. The abused man is always adapting his behaviour to do what his partner wants, in the hopes of preventing further abuse. •The primary motive for abuse is to establish and maintain power and control over a partner. The abused partner resists the attempts to control him. In turn, the abusive woman takes additional steps to regain control over her partner. •Abuse in intimate relationships is not typically an isolated incident. Abuse happens over time. If abuse is allowed to continue, it becomes more frequent and more severe. Control tactics: four kinds of abuse Often when people think about abuse, they think of emotional abuse, physical abuse, or sexual abuse. Abuse may also include intimidation tactics. EMOTIONAL ABUSE TACTICS include: •Putdowns •Controlling finances • Isolating her partner and restricting his freedoms •Spiritual abuse (ridicules or insults religion or spiritual beliefs) PHYSICAL ABUSE TACTICS include any activity that can cause physical pain or injury. SEXUAL ABUSE TACTICS include: •Uses force or pressure to get her partner to have sex in a way he does not want •Ridicules or criticizes his performance •Withholds affection or sex to punish him for violating her rules INTIMIDATION TACTICS are any words or actions that the abusive partner uses to scare her partner. For example: destroying property, threatening, stalking or harassing. The primary motive for abuse is to establish and maintain power and control over a partner. The abused partner resists the attempts to control him. In turn, the abusive woman takes additional steps to regain control over her partner. “ ”
