Acknowledgments

Many

resources

are

needed

to

create

and

translate

a

mono-

graph.

We

would

like

to

express

our

gratitude

to the

Department

of

Canadian Heritage

for

giving

us a

grant

under

the

Administration

of

Justice

in the Two

Official

Languages (AJTOL) program, without

which

we

would

not

have been able

to

translate

L'indemnisation

des

victimes

de

violence

sexuelle

et

conjugate,

which

was

originally pub-

lished

in

1998

by

Editions

Yvon

Blais.

We

would

also like

to

thank

Claire Morency, director general

of the

Fondation

du

Barreau

du

Quebec.

Without

her

sponsorship

and

assistance

the

AJTOL grant

would

not

have been possible.

Translation

is not an

easy

task.

We

cannot thank Bettina

Karpel

and

Joani

Tannenbaum enough

for

their professionalism

and

intellectual rigour

in

translating

our

work. They were able

to

convey

civil

law

notions precisely

and

eloquently

in

English.

We

would also like

to

thank

all the

research

assistants

for the

work

they contributed during

the

creation

of the

French version

of

our

work: Thierry Dorval,

Jacinthe

Bourdages, Monica Song, Mona

Nandy,

Catherine Lawrence, Roland

Hanel,

Veronique

Abele,

Josee

Patoine,

and

Susan Norman.

Marlene

Cadorette,

Earn

Holas,

Natalie L'Heureux,

and

Viet Nguyen helped

us

update both ver-

sions. Thanks also

go to our

colleagues Claude Belleau, Marie-

Claire Belleau, Daniel Gardner, Ghislain Otis, Nathalie

Vezina,

Constance Backhouse, Craig Brown,

and

Bruce Feldthusen

for

their

feedback

on

earlier versions

of our

work

and

recommended avenues

of

research,

as

well

as

Christine Gauthier,

from

the

Crime Victims

Compensation

Office.

We

wish

to

acknowledge

the

contributions

of the

library

staff

at our

respective

universities—Marianne

Welsch, Debbie Grey,

Barb Fetchison,

and

Suzanne

Drapeau—as

well

as

Nicole Moisan

for

her

secretarial help.

We

also thank

Jeffrey

Miller

of

Irwin

Law
