Which independent and dependent variables should I use from the 2009 Canadian General Social Survey on Victimization? The independent variables in this study are the frequency and nature of evening activities outside the home, which are selected from the "Perceptions: Evenings Out (PEO)" section of the survey. These variables are operationalized as categorical variables, with categories representing different types and frequencies of activities. The dependent variables are different forms of personal and household victimization, selected from the "Most Serious Crime" and "Other Crime Events (OCE)" sections of the survey. These variables are operationalized as binary variables, indicating whether or not the respondent experienced each form of victimization
