Domestic violence remains a significant public health issue around the world, and policy makers continually strive to implement effective legislative frameworks to reduce lethal violence against women. This article examines whether the 1995 Firearms Act (Bill C-68) had a significant impact on female firearm homicide victimization rates in Canada. Time series of gender-disaggregated data from 1974 to 2009 were examined. Two different analytic approaches were used: the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling and the Zivot-Andrews (ZA) structural breakpoint tests. There was little evidence to suggest that increased firearms legislation in Canada had a significant impact on preexisting trends in lethal firearm violence against women. These results do not support the view that increasing firearms legislation is associated with a reduced incidence of firearm-related female domestic homicide victimization.
家庭暴力在全球范围内仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题，政策制定者不断努力实施有效的立法框架，以减少针对妇女的致命暴力行为。本文探讨了1995年《枪支法》（C-68法案）是否对加拿大女性枪支凶杀案受害率产生了重大影响。研究了1974年至2009年按性别分类的数据时间序列。使用了两种不同的分析方法：自回归积分滑动平均（ARIMA）建模和齐沃特-安德鲁斯（ZA）结构断点检验。几乎没有证据表明加拿大加强枪支立法对针对妇女的致命枪支暴力的既有趋势产生了重大影响。这些结果不支持这样一种观点，即增加枪支立法与与枪支相关的女性家庭凶杀案受害率的降低有关。
