Survey of Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Justice Facilities, United States, 2016

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 2016, correctional administrators reported 3,740 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, 738 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）的全国监狱强奸统计项目，该项目依据2003年《监狱强奸消除法案》（Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003, PREA；公法108-79），收集成人惩教与少年司法设施中性受害行为的发生率与流行率相关的法定数据。本项目属于行政数据采集工作，其数据来源于向主管部门上报的、由其他已裁决青少年或工作人员所提出的性受害指控。采集范围包括对各州、哥伦比亚特区及部落运营的少年司法系统上报的指控与经证实事件的全面统计，以及地方与私营少年司法设施的抽样数据集。
2016年，惩教管理人员共上报3740起性受害指控。该统计总量涵盖了SSV所测量的五类受害行为：青少年间非自愿性行为、虐待性接触、性骚扰，以及工作人员对青少年的性不当行为与性骚扰。在上述所有指控中，共有738起经调查后被证实为属实。
