Survey of Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Justice Facilities, United States, 2017

The Survey of Sexual Victimization (SSV) is part of BJS's National Prison Rape Statistics Program, which gathers mandated data on the incidence and prevalence of sexual victimization in adult correctional and juvenile justice facilities, under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA; P.L. 108-79). This is an administrative data collection based on allegations of sexual victimization by other adjudicated juveniles or staff that are reported to authorities. The collection includes an enumeration of allegations and substantiated incidents reported to juvenile justice systems operated by states and the District of Columbia and tribal juvenile facilities and a sample of local and private juvenile justice facilities.
In 2017, correctional administrators reported 3,592 allegations of sexual victimization. This total contains all allegations of five types of victimization measured by the SSV - youth-on-youth nonconsensual sexual acts, abusive sexual contacts, and sexual harassment as well as staff-on-youth sexual misconduct and sexual harassment. Of those allegations, 599 were substantiated after investigation.

性受害调查（Survey of Sexual Victimization, SSV）是美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics, BJS）全国监狱强奸统计项目的一部分，该项目依据2003年《监狱强奸消除法案》（Prison Rape Elimination Act, PREA；公法第108-79号），收集成人矫正机构与少年司法机构中性受害发生率和流行率的法定数据。这是一项行政数据收集工作，基于向当局报告的、由其他已裁决少年或工作人员实施的性受害指控。该收集工作包括对各州、哥伦比亚特区及部落少年机构运营的少年司法系统中报告的指控和已证实事件的枚举，以及对地方和私人少年司法机构的抽样调查。

2017年，矫正机构管理人员报告了3592起性受害指控。这一总数涵盖了SSV所衡量的五类受害指控：少年间非自愿性行为、虐待性性接触、性骚扰，以及工作人员对少年的性行为不当和性骚扰。在这些指控中，599起经调查后得到证实。
