Survey of Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Justice Facilities, United States, 2018

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 2018, correctional administrators reported 3,692 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, 627 were substantiated after investigation.

性受害调查（Sexual Victimization Survey, SSV）隶属于美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics, BJS）的全国监狱性暴力统计项目，该项目依据2003年《监狱性暴力消除法案》（Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003, PREA; P.L. 108-79），负责采集成人矫正机构与少年司法机构中性受害事件的发生率与流行率相关的法定上报数据。本数据集为行政性数据集合，其数据来源于已被司法裁决的其他少年或工作人员所实施的性受害指控，且相关指控已正式上报至主管部门。该数据收集范围涵盖州、哥伦比亚特区及部落运营的少年司法系统，以及地方与私立少年司法机构的抽样样本中上报的全部性受害指控与已核实事件的统计名录。
2018年，矫正机构管理人员共上报3692起性受害指控。该总数量涵盖了SSV所衡量的五类性受害行为的全部指控：青少年间非自愿性行为、虐待性性接触、性骚扰，以及工作人员对青少年的性不当行为与性骚扰。在上述指控中，经调查核实后共有627起被认定为属实。
