Allen J. Beck, Ph.D., Bureau of Justice Statistics
June 13, 2013 NCJ 242114
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA; P.L. 108-79) requires the Attorney General to submit to Congress, not later than June 30 of each year, a report on the activities of the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) for the preceding calendar year. This document fulfills this requirement. During 2012-13, BJS completed the third National Inmate Survey (NIS-3) in state and federal prisons and local jails. The NIS-3 provided the first-ever national-level estimates of sexual victimization of youth ages 16 to 17 held in adult facilities and estimates of sexual victimization among inmates with a history of mental health problems. During the year, BJS also completed the second National Survey of Youth in Custody (NSYC-2), which provided national estimates, facility-level estimates for large facilities, and state-level estimates of sexual victimization of youth held in juvenile facilities by type of victimization. It also included new measures for assessing the accuracy of youth self-reports and for understanding staff sexual misconduct.
