The AQPV is constantly developing new information and raising awareness for victims and those close to them (guides, capsules, pamphlets, etc.). Click on the tabs below to learn more.
If you or a loved one was the victim of a crime committed by an individual who has been found unfit to stand trial (UST) or not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder (NCR), it is the Review Board for Mental Disorder (RBMD) that will be called on to make the necessary decision in such cases.
The purpose of this brochure is to provide you with the information you need on the RBMD and answer your questions. It is also intended to serve as a reminder that you are guaranteed rights and recourses under the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights and the Act to assist persons who are victims of criminal offences and to facilitate their recovery, and that resources are available to help you ensure that those rights and recourses are respected.
The guides in the Rights and Recourses of Victims of Crime series were created to help you navigate the justice system. Written in clear, easy-to-understand language, they contain information that will help you understand the justice system and how to exercise your rights and recourse.
Each guide provides the answers to questions most frequently asked by victims, including practical advice and useful references for life after an experience of victimization.
In connection with the implementation of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights (CVBR), the AQPV has developed information tools for victims, those close to them and the people who work with them.
*** These tools were created with funding provided by Justice Canada in cooperation with the Ministère de la Justice du Québec.

The AQPV has developed a guide and pamphlet aimed at raising awareness of sexual assault committed by health care professionals to enable victims to recognize and identify what has happened to them. These publications also explain how to recognize warning signs, debunk prejudices and myths about victims, and provide information on how to get help.
