Presents data from the 2008-09 National Survey of Youth in Custody
(NSYC), conducted in 195 juvenile confinement facilities between
June 2008 and April 2009, with a sample of over 9,000 adjudicated
youth. The report provides national-level and facility-level
estimates of sexual victimization by type of activity, including
youth-on-youth sexual contact, staff sexual misconduct, and level
of coercion. It also includes an analysis of the experience of
sexual victimization, characteristics of youth most at risk to
victimization, where the incidents occur, time of day,
characteristics of perpetrators, and nature of the injuries.
Finally, it includes estimates of the sampling error for selected
measures of sexual victimization and summary characteristics of
victims and incidents. The report and appendix tables provide a
listing of results for sampled state and large locally or privately
operated facilities, as required under the Prison Rape Elimination
Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-79). Facilities are listed alphabetically by
state with estimated prevalence rates of sexual victimization as
reported by youths during a personal interview and based on
activity in the 12 months prior to the interview or since admission
to the facility, if shorter. Highlights include the following: This
report presents findings from the first National Survey of Youth in
Custody (NSYC), representing 26,550 adjudicated youth held
nationwide in state operated and large locally or privately
operated juvenile facilities. Overall, 91% of youth in these
facilities were male; 9% were female. About 12% of youth in state
juvenile facilities and large non-state facilities (representing
3,220 youth nationwide) reported experiencing one or more incidents
of sexual victimization by another youth or facility staff in the
past 12 months or since admission, if less than 12 months. About
2.6% of youth (700 nationwide) reported an incident involving
another youth and 10.3% reported an incident involving staff.
