Describe the roles of gender and race on sexual victimization in prison.
What will be an ideal response?
Similar to sexual victimization outside prison, female inmates are more likely to be
sexually victimized than male inmates. According to the findings from the National
Inmate Survey, 6.9% of female prison inmates and 3.6% of female jail inmates had
been sexually victimized by another inmate during the previous 12 months or since
admission (compared with 1.7% and 1.4% for males; Beck et al., 2013). These rates are
more than twice that of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization experienced by male
inmates. When males are sexually victimized, they are more likely to be victimized by
staff. About 2.4% of male prisoners and 2% of male jail inmates reported staff-
perpetrated sexual victimization (note that consensual sexual activity with staff is
considered victimization) compared with 2.3% of female prisoners and 1.4% of female
jail inmates (Beck et al., 2013). White and multiracial prison and jail inmates were more
likely to be sexually victimized by other inmates than were Black inmates, although
Black jail inmates were more likely to experience staff-perpetrated sexual victimization
(Beck et al., 2013).
