  Chart Unanswered Question A question that I cannot answer with my data is sexual violence against women in Canada in previous years. It would be great to compare the difference of at least the last five years. The data from Statistics Canada that I used for my visualization provides information for the years 2019 and 2020 but not for years before that. It would be interesting to compare the data for sexual assault on female over the years.  How would you get the data? I would reach out to Statistics Canada to find out if they have any data available for previous years. I will also request for a research data and questions, which they used before getting the final data. I will make sure to request a data that includes Canada and not B.C. as my data is about all over Canada and not one province. Even if I get a data that includes all genders, I could filter it and find the data for females. 

 1. Opening lead sentence  The number of assaults by a stranger on male and female victims aged 12-17 in 2020 is comparatively less than in 2019, according to Statistics Canada.  2. Excel Workbook Link and Explanation The excel workbook with my data set can be found here . This dataset contains the number of victims and the rate per 100,000 population from 2019 to 2020. This report is based on police-reported crime and traffic violation by age, gender and the relationship of accused to victim. In particular, my slice focuses on the assaults on males and females aged 12-17 by strangers. It shows the difference between crime rates from 2019 to 2020. I took Chad's advice on interesting comparisons for questions and I will be comparing the number of assaults by a stranger on males and females for the years 2019 and 2020.  3.
