Trois études indépendantes ont été diffusées il y a environ trois ans—presque exactement trois ans: le ministère de la Justice de la Nouvelle-Écosse a fait préparer une étude intitulée Nova Scotia Family Violence Tracking Project. Un rapport intitulé «From Rhetoric to Reality: Ending Domestic Violence in Nova Scotia», préparé par la Commission de réforme du droit, a aussi été publié.
Three independent studies were released about three years ago—almost exactly three years ago: the Nova Scotia Family Violence Tracking Project, which was done by the Department of Justice; a report called “From Rhetoric to Reality: Ending Domestic Violence in Nova Scotia”, done by the Law Reform Commission; and Peggy Mahon's spousal homicide study called “Changing Perspectives”, which was done through the family violence prevention division of Health Canada.
