Findings from the National Survey of Youth in Custody are reported in the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Prison Rape Elimination Act report. At the time of the publication of this text, the most recent data collection was from 2012. In 2012, about 9.5% of youths in state-run facilities reported one or more incidents of sexual victimization within 12 months of taking the survey. Those assaults were most likely to have been carried out by staff members at the facility. Of the 1,390 youths who reported victimization by staff, 89.1% were males who reported sexual activity with female staff. In addition, of those youths who were victimized by juvenile facility staff, over 20% had been given drugs or alcohol to coerce them into sexual activity.
