U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics Bureau of Justice Statistics SPECIAL REPORT January 2010, NCJ 228416 Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 Allen J. Beck, Ph.D., Paige M. Harrison, and Paul Guerino, BJS Statisticians T he Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-79) (PREA) requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to carry out a comprehensive statistical review and analysis of the incidents and effects of prison rape for each calendar year. This report fulfills the requirement under Sec. 4(c)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act to provide a list of juvenile correctional facilities according to the prevalence of sexual victimization. Between June 2008 and April 2009, BJS completed the first National Survey of Youth in Custody (NSYC) of 166 state-owned or operated facilities and 29 locally or privately operated facilities. The survey, conducted by Westat (Rockville, MD), was restricted to juvenile confinement facilities that held adjudicated youth for at least 90 days. Facilities were excluded if fewer than 25% of the youth in the facility had been adjudicated, the facility held fewer than 10 adjudicated youth, or if the facility was locally or privately operated and held fewer than 105 Highlights o This report presents findings from the first National Survey of Youth in Custody (NSYC), representing approximately 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. o An estimated 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. o About 2.6% of youth (700 nationwide) reported an incident involving another youth, and 10.3% (2,730) reported an incident involving facility staff. o About 4.3% of youth (1,150) reported having sex or other sexual contact with facility staff as a result of some type of force; 6.4% of youth (1,710) reported sexual contact with facility staff without any force, threat, or other explicit form of coercion. o Approximately 95% of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female staff. In 2008, 42% of staff in state juvenile facilities were female. o Thirteen facilities were identified as "high rate" based on the lower bound of the 95%-confidence interval of at least 35% higher than the average rate among facilities by type of consent. Six facilities had victimization rates of 30% or more; 4 had rates between 25% and 30%; and 3 had rates between 20% and 25%. o Eleven facilities were identified as "low rate" based on a low rate of youth reporting sexual victimization and a low upper bound for the 95%-confidence interval around the rate. Among these facilities, 5 had no reported incidents of sexual victimization. o Rates of reported sexual victimization varied among youth: - 10.8% of males and 4.7% of females reported sexual activity with facility staff. - 9.1% of females and 2.0% of males reported unwanted sexual activity with other youth. - Youth with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual reported significantly higher rates of sexual victimization by another youth (12.5%) compared to heterosexual youth (1.3%). - Youth who had experienced any prior sexual assault were more than twice as likely to report sexual victimization in the current facility (24.1%), compared to those with no sexual assault history (10.1%). o Among youth victimized by another youth, 20% said they had been physically injured; 5% reported they had sought medical attention for their injuries. Among youth victimized by staff, 5% reported a physical injury; fewer than 1% had sought medical attention. youth. All state facilities holding 90 or more youth were included. State facilities with fewer than 90 youth were sampled proportionate to the number of adjudicated youth held, based on the 2006 Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement. Non-state (locally or privately operated) juvenile facilities holding 105 or more youth were initially included, but during the course of the survey, this criterion was increased to 150. At least one facility in each state and the District of Columbia was selected to participate in the survey. (See Methodology for sample description.) Administrators in each state, county, and private facility determined the type of consent required for youths to be eligible for participation. Administrators provided in loco parentis (ILP) consent in 63 facilities. In loco parentis is when administrators provide consent "in the place of the parent" to contact youth. In the remaining 132 facilities, administrators required consent from the youths' parents or guardians (PGC). Youth in all facilities also had to assent to participate in the interview. (See Methodology for additional details on the process of consent.) The NSYC is part of the National Prison Rape Statistics Program. The program collects administrative records of reported sexual violence, as well as allegations of sexual victimization directly from victims through surveys of adult inmates in prisons and jails and surveys of youth held in juvenile correctional facilities. Administrative records have been collected annually since 2004. BJS has published two reports on sexual victimization in juvenile facilities--Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2004 (NCJ 210333) and Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06 (NCJ 215337). BJS has also published an overview of all of its prison rape collections--PREA Data Collection Activities, 2009 (NCJ 227377). These reports are available online at ; and (last accessed December 17, 2009). In each sampled PGC facility, administrators were asked 8 weeks prior to data collection to provide a roster of all adjudicated youth assigned a bed; in ILP facilities a roster was provided 4 weeks prior to data collection. First national survey of youth completed to meet PREA requirements The NSYC collects only allegations of sexual victimization. Because participation in the survey is anonymous and reports are confidential, the NSYC does not permit any follow-up investigation or substantiation through review of official records. Some allegations in the NSYC may be untrue. At the same time, some youth may remain silent about any sexual victimization experience in the facility. To address concerns of false reporting by youth, reports of victimization were checked for consistency across survey items. Interviews that contained response patterns considered to be extreme or highly inconsistent were excluded from the calculations of victimization rates. (See box on page 6 for details.) The 2008-09 NSYC survey consisted of an audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) in which youth, using a touch-screen, interacted with a computerized questionnaire and followed audio instructions delivered via headphones. The NSYC utilized self-administered procedures to ensure the confidentiality of the reporting youths and to encourage fuller reporting of victimization. The survey made use of audio technology to provide assistance to youth with varying levels of literacy and language skills. Approximately 98% of the interviews were conducted in English; 2% in Spanish. All youth were sampled in ILP facilities and in PGC facilities with 240 or fewer youth on the roster. In larger PGC facilities, all females and a random sample of males were selected. In both PGC and ILP facilities all incoming youth were added to the sample up to 4 weeks prior to the survey. Youth who had been present in the facility at least 4 weeks prior to the survey and were present at the time of the survey were considered eligible. The result of this process yielded a sample representing 26,551 adjudicated youth held nationwide in state operated and large locally or privately operated juvenile facilities. 1 A total of 10,263 youth participated in the survey. Of these, 1,065 received an alternative survey on drug and alcohol use and treatment, and 9,198 youth participated in the survey of sexual victimization. 1 Adjudication is the court process that determines whether the youth committed the offense, including delinquency and status offenses. 2 Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 About 12% of youth in state-operated juvenile facilities and large non-state facilities reported one or more incidents of sexual victimization Among the 9,198 youth participating in the 2008-09 survey, 1,199 reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization. Because the NSYC is a sample survey, weights were applied for sampled facilities and youth within facilities to produce national-level and facility-level estimates. The estimated number of adjudicated youth who reported experiencing sexual violence totaled 3,220 (or 12.1% of the 26,551 estimated adjudicated youth held in stateoperated or large non-state facilities covered by the survey) (table 1). About 2.6% of adjudicated youth (an estimated 700 nationwide) reported an incident involving another youth, and 10.3% reported an incident involving facility staff. Some youth (0.8%) reported sexual victimization by both another youth and facility staff. Sexual acts or contacts between youth in which there was no report of force were excluded from all measures of sexual victimization. The NSYC screened for specific sexual activities in which youth may have been involved during the past 12 months or since admission to the facility, if less than 12 months. Youth were asked to report which of these activities involved another youth and which involved staff at the facility. Additionally, youth were asked if any of these activities happened because they were forced, threatened with force, pressured in another way, or offered money, favors, special protection or other special treatment. (See pages 20 - 22 for specific survey questions.) Reports of unwilling youth-on-youth sexual activity were classified as either nonconsensual acts or other sexual contacts only. Approximately 2.0% of youths (530 nationwide) said they had nonconsensual sex with another youth, including giving or receiving sexual gratification, and oral, anal, or vaginal penetration. An estimated 0.5% (140) of surveyed adjudicated youth said they had experienced one or more other unwilling sexual contacts only with other youth, such as looking at private body parts, unwanted kissing on the lips or another part of the body, and other unwanted touching of specific body parts in a sexual way. Reports of staff sexual misconduct with youth were classified separately depending on whether the misconduct involved any force, threat, pressure, or offers of special favors or privileges. An estimated 4.3% of youth (1,150 nationwide) reported that they had sex or other sexual contact with facility staff as a result of force. An estimated 6.4% (1,710) of youth said they had sexual contact with facility staff without any force, threat, or other explicit form of coercion. Table 1.

January 2010 3 Thirteen facilities were identified as high rate after taking into account statistical variation and type of consent survey will have greater variance around the point estimate, making it especially important to recognize that the survey estimates may vary. Of the 195 juvenile facilities in the 2008-09 NSYC, 13 had an overall victimization rate that could be identified as "high rate" (table 2). Though other measures may be considered when comparing facilities, the overall victimization rate is a measure of prevalence that includes all reports of unwilling sexual activity between youth and all reports of staff sexual misconduct, regardless of the level of coercion and type of sexual activity.2 A common way to express the sampling variability is to construct a 95%-confidence interval around each survey estimate. Typically, multiplying the standard error by 1.96 and then adding or subtracting the result from the estimate produces the confidence interval. This interval expresses the range of values that could result among 95% of the different samples that could be drawn. The NSYC is statistically unable to provide an exact ranking for all facilities as required under the Prison Rape Elimination Act. As with any survey, the NSYC estimates are subject to error associated with sampling. Facilities holding few youth or facilities with few youth completing the 2 Facility-level rates are based on the reports of adjudicated youth who were in the facility at least 4 weeks prior to the time of the interview. The experiences of non-adjudicated youth and youth held in the facility in the past 12 months, but who were not in the facility when the interviews were conducted, were not included in the survey. For small samples and estimates close to 0% or 100%, as is the case with the NSYC, the use of the standard error to construct the 95%-confidence interval may not be reliable. An alternative developed by Wilson has been shown to perform better than the traditional method when constructing a confidence interval.3 When applied to large samples, the traditional and the Wilson confidence intervals are virtually identical. 3 See Brown, L.D., Cai, T. and DasGupta, A.

Table 1 and tables 7 through 12 contain national estimates and are based on traditional standard error calculations. (See Methodology for details.) Thirty-six facilities had no reported incidents; 11 facilities were identified as low-rate for sexual victimization Thirty-six of the juvenile facilities (18%) had no reported incidents of sexual victimization (see appendix table 2). However, the NSYC is unable to provide an exact identification of the facilities with the lowest rates of sexual victimization. Rates in each of the 36 facilities are subject to sampling error, depending on which youth were selected and the number of surveys actually completed by youth within the facility. Although in each facility the lower bound of the confidence interval was 0%, the upper bound varied depending on the number of completed interviews. Among the 13 high-rate facilities, 5 were ILP facilities (in which facility administrators provided consent for the majority of the selected youth) and 8 were PGC facilities (in which administrators required consent from the youths' parents or guardians). These facilities were identified as high because the lower bound of the 95%-confidence interval was at least 35% higher than the average rate among ILP facilities (14.3%) and PGC facilities (10.9%).4 Among the 195 surveyed facilities, 11 were idenAlthough the NSYC cannot uniquely identify the tified as "low rate" facilities for sexual victimizafacility with the highest victimization rate, 6 tion based on the low percentages of youth who facilities had rates of 30% or greater.

Swanton (Mar yland) had a rate of 36.4%; Samarkand Youth Development Center (North Table 3.

Bellefontaine Campus (MO) rate facilities due to sampling error. 4 The criterion of at least 35% higher than the average rate was established to identify a small group of facilities that would be considered as having high rates. Other criteria reflecting variation in the estimates would have identified a smaller or larger number of facilities. Camp Florence (OR) Rhode Island Training School (RI)d McLennan Co. State Juv.

(See Methodology for details.) dFacility houses both males and females. January 2010 5 Interviews checked for extreme and inconsistent response patterns As with any survey, the NSYC is subject to measurement error. To reduce this error, the survey incorporated several design features, inclu d ing t he u s e of an au d io - a ssiste d questionnaire delivered via headphones to address low levels of literacy ; the use of "hotwords," highlighted in a different color, w h i ch yout h c ou l d a c c e ss i f t he y we re uncertain about their definition; range checks for s elec ted questions to guard against unrealistic values; and logic checks that asked youth to verify their responses. To assist youth having difficulty with the inter view, the computer flagged those who spent a long period in particular sections of the interview and prompted the youth to obtain assistance from an interviewer. While these measures and others helped to reduce error, they did not prevent it from occurring. O n c e t h e i nt e r v i e w s w e r e c o m p l e t e d , individual response patterns were assessed to i d e nt i f y i nte r v i e w s h av i n g e x t re m e or internally inconsistent responses. Three response patterns were considered extreme and indicative of an unreliable interview overall. These patterns were-- o a youth completed the survey in less than 10 minutes. Based on internal testing, it was determined to be extremely difficult for a respondent to seriously complete the interview in less than 10 minutes. o the reported number of forced sexual contacts with other youth exceeded 1.5 incidents per day for every day since admission to the facility. o the reported number of forced sexual contacts with facility staff exceeded 1.5 incidents per day for every day since admission. Out of 9,362 completed interviews, 89 had at least one of the extreme response patterns. These interviews were excluded from the calculations of sexual victimization. 6 Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 An additional list of 25 indicators was developed to assess whether a youth showed signs that he or she did not fully understand the survey items, whether the youth did not consistently report the details of events, or if the youth provided inconsistent responses. One indicator was if the youth provided unrealistic dates or personal information; another indicator was if the youth reported in a debriefing item that questions on sexual activity were hard to understand. Other indicators compared responses in one section of the survey with responses in other sections. (See page 23 for a full listing of the indicators.) The outcomes of these 25 indicators were combined into a count of the total number for each youth. While 89.6% of youth did not record any inconsistent responses, 8.0% reported one that was inconsistent, 1.5% reported two, and 0.9% reported three or more. For purposes of estimating sexual victimization rates, an additional 75 interviews were excluded based on a count of 3 or more indicators of inconsistent responses. B ecause many of the indicators rely on checking the consistency of reports of sexual v i c t i m i z at i o n , d e l e t i o n o f e x t re m e o r inconsistent responses from the estimates has the effect of lowering the overall victimization rate. Without deleting any interviews, the estimate for the overall sexual victimization rate would have been 13.1%. After deleting 164 interviews with at least one extreme response or 3 or more inconsistent responses, the rate dropped to 12.1%. If interviews with 2 or more inconsistent responses were deleted, then the rate would have dropped to approximately 11.0%; had interviews with 1 or more been deleted, the rate would have been approximately 7.5%. The 3 or more inconsistent response cutoff was selected in recognition that youth could legitimately report some inconsistent information without invalidating their entire interview. Fort Bellefontaine Campus (Missouri) and Camp Florence (Oregon), with no youth reporting sexual victimization, had confidence intervals with the lowest upper bounds (2.4% and 3.3%, respectively) among ILP facilities. Desoto Juvenile Residential Facility (Florida) and Green Hill School (Washington) with reported sexual victimization rates of 1.0% had confidence intervals with the lowest upper bounds (3.8% and 4.2%, respectively) among PGC facilities. Youth in high-rate facilities reported high rates of nonconsensual sexual activity Among the 13 high-rate facilities, most reports of sexual victimization involved nonconsensual sexual acts with another youth and serious sexual acts with facility staff excluding touching (table 4). When rates of sexual victimization were limited to the most serious nonconsensual acts (excluding touching only, kissing on the lips or other body parts, and engaging in other less serious acts), the percentages of youth reporting one or more incidents remained high (between 20.3% and 36.4%).

January 2010 7 Among the ILP facilities, Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility (Indiana) had a rate of sexual victimization excluding touching only (34.1%) and a confidence interval with a lower bound (28.6%) that were more than double the national average. Among the PGC facilities, Samarkand Youth Development Center (North Carolina) had a 29.2% sexual victimization rate excluding touching only and a confidence interval with the highest lower bound (21.7%). Of the 13 high-rate facilities, 4 had rates of youth-on-youth sexual victimization that exceeded 10% (table 5). In 4 facilities, none of the interviewed youth reported any sexual victimization by other youth in the facility. Table 5.

Eleven of the 13 high-rate facilities had rates of staff sexual misconduct (with no report of force) that were more than twice the national average (6.4%) (table 6). Five of the 13 facilities had a confidence interval around the rate of staff sexual misconduct (with no force) with a lower bound that exceeded 10%. Table 6.

January 2010 9 Few differences in sexual victimization rates were associated with basic facility characteristics An initial examination of available facility characteristics revealed few measurable differences at the 95%-level of statistical confidence-- o Rates of staff sexual misconduct with youth were higher in state operated facilities (10.9%) than in non-state facilities (7.9%). Reports of unwanted sexual activity between youth did not differ between state (2.7%) and non-state (2.6%) juvenile facilities (table 7). o Female-only facilities had the highest rates of youth-on-youth sexual victimization (11.0%); male-only facilities had the highest rates of staff sexual misconduct (11.3%). o Small facilities (those holding between 10 and 25 adjudicated youth) had the lowest overall rates of sexual victimization (6.3%), largely due to low rates of staff sexual misconduct (2.7%). o Facilities in which youth were held an average of less than 5 months had the lowest rates of sexual victimization (7.4%), compared to facilities in which youth were held for longer periods (12.7% in facilities with an average of 5 to 6 months and 14.2% in facilities with an average of 7 to 12 months). Rates of sexual victimization were strongly related to specific youth characteristics Rates of sexual victimization varied among youth-- o Males were more likely than females to report sexual activity with facility staff. An estimated 10.8% of males, compared to 4.7% of females, said they had experienced one or more incidents of sexual activity with staff (table 8). o Females were more likely than males to report forced sexual activity with other youth. About 9.1% of females and 2.0% of males reported forced sexual activity with another youth at the facility. Table 7.

(See Methodology for details.) 10 Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 o White youth (4.4%) were more likely than black youth (2.1%) and Hispanic youth (0.9%) to report sexual victimization by another youth. o Youth with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual reported significantly higher rates of sexual victimization by another youth (12.5%) compared to heterosexual youth (1.3%). o Black youth (11.9%) reported slightly higher rates of sexual victimization by facility staff than white youth (9.7%) and Hispanic youth (8.1%). o Youth who had experienced any prior sexual assault were at least twice as likely to report sexual victimization in the current facility (24.1%), compared to those with no sexual assault history (10.1%). o Reports of staff-on-youth sexual victimization increased with the length of time a youth had been in the facility. An estimated 14.6% of youth who had been in the facility 12 months or more, compared to 8.3% of youth who had been in the facility for less than 6 months, said they had sexual contact with facility staff. o Among youth who had been previously sexually assaulted at another correctional facility, two-thirds (65.0%) reported having been victimized at the current facility within the last 12 months or since admission, if less than 12 months.

January 2010 11 Most youth-on-youth victims (81%) reported more than one incident; 43% reported more than one perpetrator In the NSYC victims were also asked to provide information about the circumstances surrounding their victimization, including the number of times it had happened, characteristics of the perpetrators, the type of pressure or physical force, when and where the incidents had occurred, and whether or not they had been injured. Data provided by youth who reported sexual victimization by another youth revealed that-- o About 81% had been victimized more than once; 32% had been victimized more than 10 times (table 9). o An estimated 43% of youth-on-youth victims had been victimized by more than one perpetrator. o More than half (59%) of the victims said that they had been victimized by another youth who was white; 75% said they had been victimized by a youth who was black; 39% of victims said they had been victimized by another youth who was Hispanic/Latino. (In comparison, 34% of all adjudicated youth held in the sampled facilities were white, 42% were black, and 19% were Hispanic.) o Almost two-thirds of the victims (63%) said they had been victimized at least once by a youth known to be in a gang. o Nearly half of the victims (46%) reported they had experienced physical force or threat of force, 30% had been offered favors or protection, and 17% had been given drugs or alcohol to engage in the sexual act or other sexual contact (table 10). Youth-on-youth sexual victimizations occurred in areas throughout the facilities Table 9.

Additionally, 45% reported at least one incident had occurred in a shower or bathroom, and 34% said they had been victimized in a recreation area. Nearly two-thirds of the victims (65%) said at least one incident had occurred in another common area, such as a classroom, library, kitchen, office, closet, or supply room. Youth-on-youth sexual victimization was more common in the evening (between 6 p.m. and midnight) than at any other time. An estimated 60% of the youth who reported unwanted sexual activity with another youth said at least one of the incidents occurred during those hours. Most youth victimized by another youth (80%) said they had not been physically injured. Of those injured, approximately 5% reported being knocked unconscious, 9% reported being stabbed or cut, 5% reported broken bones, 7% reported internal injuries, and 5% reported that teeth had been chipped or knocked out. Additionally, 17% reported minor injuries, such as bruises, a black eye, cuts, scratches, swelling, or welts. (Not shown in table.) Among all youth victimized by another youth, 6% said they had received two or more serious injuries. Approximately 5% reported they had sought medical attention for their injuries. Most perpetrators of staff sexual misconduct were female Approximately 95% of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female facility staff (table 11). Among the estimated 2,730 adjudicated youths who had been victimized, 92% were males reporting sexual activity with female staff; an additional 2.5% were males reporting sexual activity with both female and male staff. In comparison, 91% of all adjudicated youth held in the sampled facilities were male. In 2008, 42% of staff in juvenile facilities under state jurisdiction were female. (Staff data for only sampled facilities were not available). Physical force, threat of force, and other forms of pressure and coercion by facility staff were reported by an estimated 1,150 youths. Among these victims, 14% reported a male staff member as the perpetrator (including those victimized by both male and female staff). Male staff members made up a smaller percentage of perpetrators among youth reporting staff sexual misconduct that did not involve any force. Among the estimated 1,710 youths who experienced staff sexual misconduct without force, nearly 4% reported the involvement of a male staff member. Table 10.

An estimated 2% reported 2 or more serious injuries; fewer than 1% said they sought medical attention (not shown in table). o Nearly 80% of the victims said at least one incident had occurred in a common area, such as a classroom, library, kitchen, office, closet, or supply room. Half (51%) of the victims said at least one incident had occurred in a shower or bathroom; half (54%) also said they had been victimized by staff in the youth's room or sleeping area. o Reports of staff sexual misconduct were more common between 6 p.m. and midnight (59%) than any other time. Methodology The National Sur vey of Youth in Custody (NSYC) was conducted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, by Westat (Rockville, MD), under a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Data collection was conducted in 195 juvenile facilities between June 2008 and April 2009. Interviewing juveniles in residential facilities on such sensitive topics required extensive preparations with agency and facility administrators prior to the interview. These preparations ranged from methods to obtain consent, procedures to file mandatory reports of child abuse or neglect, arrangements for counseling in case a youth became upset, and logistical support to actually carry out the interviewing. The specific procedures that had to be negotiated with state and local authorities were: o Consent to interview minors--two options for consent were available: in loco parentis consent provided by the state agency acting as the guardian or active consent by parents/guardians. Twenty states and the District of Columbia provided consent in loco parentis. In 10 states either verbal or written parent/guardian consent was permitted. Written parent/guardian consent was required in 18 states. Two states required a mixture of in loco parentis and written parental consent. o Mandatory reporting of abuse or neglect--all survey staff who had direct contact with youths had to comply with state and local reporting requirements when a youth made a verbal statement suggesting abuse or neglect. Jurisdictions provided contact information and instructions for submitting reports to an agency outside of the facility (e.g., local Child Protective Services). o Counseling services--jurisdictions were asked to identify both facility-based and external resources for counseling services in the event a youth would become emotionally upset during the interview or make a specific request to the interviewer for such services. The NSYC comprised two questionnaires - a survey of sexual victimization and a survey of past drug and alcohol use and abuse. Youth were randomly assigned one of the questionnaires so that, at the time of the interview, the content of the survey remained unknown to facility staff and the survey interviewers. The interviews averaged about 30 minutes in length and used automated collection methods. Youth interacted with the computer-administered questionnaires using a touch-screen and synchronized audio instructions delivered through headphones. Youth could choose to take the interview in either English or Spanish. Youth completed the inter view in private, with the inter viewer remaining in the room but in a position that did not offer a view of the computer screen. Approximately 10,400 youth completed one of the two NSYC questionnaires. Sampling of facilities The universe for the survey was all adjudicated youth residing in state operated facilities or large non-state facilities, locally or privately operated. The universe was restricted to facilities that house youth for at least 90 days. This restriction was imposed to allow sufficient time to obtain parental consent. A multistage stratified sample design was used. At the first stage of selection, a total of 284 facilities was selected from the over 500 eligible facilities in the United States. Eligible juvenile facilities included state-owned or operated juvenile facilities and non-state facilities with 105 or more adjudicated youth. Selection of facilities was completed using the 2006 Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP), conducted by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Based on a complete enumeration, 548 facilities were determined to be eligible for selection. A small number of facilities were later determined to be out-of-scope. Facilities were out-of-scope if the sampled facility 1) had closed, 2) was a non-state facility housing fewer than 105 youth, or 3) did not house youth for more than 90 days. The facility sampling rates ranged from a low of about 1 in 10 for the smallest facilities to certainty among the largest facilities. January 2010 15 For sample selection purposes, a measure of size equal to the number of adjudicated youth (according to the 2006 CJRP) was assigned to each facility in the frame. Two hundred-and-one facilities were included in the sample with certainty. These certainty facilities were state facilities with at least 90 youth or non-state facilities with at least 105 youth. Next, one state facility was randomly selected from a designated substratum within each of the 9 states that did not contain a certainty facility. The designated substratum consisted of the largest facilities in the state. Within each of the designated substrata, one facility was selected with probability proportionate to the size of facility. An additional 74 state facilities were selected for the study from the remaining facilities. Facilities were assigned to strata defined by gender of youths held in the facility, percent of youths who were female, facility size, region, and state. Within each stratum, between 2 and 5 facilities were selected with probabilities proportionate to size of facility. In the interest of completing data collection activities by April 2009, the size criterion for the non-state facilities was increased to 150. This eliminated 32 facilities from the original sample. Of the 252 selected juvenile facilities-- o 26 were determined to be ineligible due to an average length of stay of less than 90 days or some other constraint that precluded obtaining consent of parent or guardian. o 18 had closed. o 6 housed pre-adjudicated youth only or too few adjudicated youth to permit interviewing. o 2 had merged with another participating facility. o 2 participated but yielded no usable interviews from the sexual victimization survey. Of the remaining 198 eligible juvenile facilities, 3 privately operated facilities refused to participate in the survey: o Glen Mills School, Glen Mills, PA o Northwestern Academy, Coal Township, PA o Gulf Coast Trade Center, New Waverly, TX 16 Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 Selection of youth Rosters of adjudicated youth were provided by facilities granting in loco parentis (ILP) 4 weeks prior to data collection and by facilities requiring parental/guardian consent (PGC) 8 weeks prior to data collection. All youth were sampled in ILP facilities and in PGC facilities that had 240 or fewer youth on the roster. In PGC facilities that exceeded 240 youth, an initial sample of 240 was selected. Additionally, all females among those not selected were included with certainty. The initial sample was supplemented by youth who were admitted to the facility between the 8th and 4 th weeks prior to data collection. In ILP facilities and PGC facilities with at least 240 adjudicated youth, everyone was selected. In PGC facilities with more than 240, incoming youth were selected at the same rate as the initial sample. Prior to the start of data collection, interviewing capacity at each facility was assessed based on the number of available days, interviewing rooms, and interviewers. In facilities in which the NSYC team had the capacity to complete all of the interviews, all youths for whom consent had been given were selected. In other facilities, youth were randomly sub-sampled so the number of youth did not exceed interviewing capacity. A total of 25,939 youth were selected. Among these individuals, 7,175 left prior to the interviewing team arriving at the facility. After restricting the sample to those assigned to the sexual assault interview, 54% of the youth responded to the interview. Approximately 33% of the youth did not participate because parental/guardian consent could not be obtained; 6% refused to complete the interview; and 7% were non-respondents for other reasons (e.g., they did not complete the entire interview, they were not at the facility at the time of visit, the facility denied access, or they were excluded due to extreme or inconsistent response patterns). As a result of sampling and consent protocols, youth who completed the NSYC were somewhat older and had committed more serious offenses than other youth in residential placement. Nearly twice as many youth in the NSYC were age 18 or older (26%), compared to adjudicated and non-adjudicated youth who had been enumerated in the 2006 CJRP (14%). Considerably more youth in the NSYC had been placed because of a violent offense (46%) than all youth in residential placement (34%). Weighting and non-response adjustments The survey data were weighted to provide facility-level and national-level estimates. To generate facility estimates, an initial weight was assigned to each youth corresponding to the inverse of the probability of selection within each facility. A series of adjustments were applied to the initial weight to compensate for nonresponse. These adjustments were completed in three steps: 1. Adjustment cells were constructed based on the number of locked doors the youth had to go through to leave the facility, offense, race/ Hispanic origin, age, gender, and the number of days the youth had been in facility. 2. An adjustment required a minimum nonresponse cell size of 10 responding youth. In many facilities, this resulted in no nonresponse adjustment, as either the facility had too few interviews (less than 20) to create multiple cells or the differences between respondents and non-respondents were not significant. In facilities where significant differences were observed, 2 to 4 non-response cells were created. 3. After an initial non-response adjustment, the weights within a facility were examined. If the highest weight was 4 times greater than the lowest weight in the facility, the highest weights were trimmed and the difference in weighted counts distributed to the remaining youth, so that after trimming the high-to-low ratio in the final weight would be equal to 4. To generate national estimates, the facility weights were adjusted to reflect each facility's probability of selection into the sample and then were adjusted for facility non-response. The steps in creating the national weight adjustments were the same as those described for facilitylevel weights. Calculating facility-level response rates Within each facility a base weight was created for each youth in the sexual victimization survey by taking the inverse of each youth's probability of selection. In most facilities youth selection probabilities were the same. However, in some sampled facilities (e.g. where females were oversampled and where rosters contained duplicate records) selection probabilities varied. An initial facility response rate was calculated by summing the base weights for all youth completing the sexual victimization survey and dividing it by the sum of the base weights for all sampled youth (minus ineligible youth) in each facility. A final response rate was calculated to account for the deletion of interviews containing extreme or inconsistent responses. (See discussion on page 6.) This was achieved by multiplying the initial facility response rate by an adjustment ratio. In each facility this ratio represented the sum of final weights for all interviewed youth excluding those with extreme or inconsistent responses divided by the sum of final weights for all interviewed youth including those with extreme or inconsistent responses. This final adjusted response rate was then multiplied by 100. Calculations for Mt. Meigs Campus (Alabama) illustrate the calculation of these weighted facility-level response rates. The facility listed 278 youth on its roster. Of these listed, 193 were subsampled. Thirteen of the sampled youth were roster errors (and were excluded from the sample). Of the remaining 180 sampled youth, 32 were discharged prior to the visit, leaving 132 sampled for the sexual victimization survey and 16 for supplemental survey. Of the 132 eligible youth, 121 completed the NSYC survey. After adjusting for the probability of selection for each youth, the 121 youth who completed the sexual victimization survey represented 208 youth (or 91.7% of the 227 eligible youth in the facility). Three of the youth provided extreme or 3 or more inconsistent responses and were excluded. After adjusting for the probability of selection for each youth, a ratio adjustment of.974 was applied to the initial response rate, resulting in an overall facility response rate of 89.3% (.974 times.917 times 100%). January 2010 17 Standard errors and confidence intervals Survey estimates are subject to sampling error arising from the fact that the estimates are based on a sample rather than a complete enumeration. Within each facility, the estimated sampling error varies by the size of the estimate, the number of completed interviews, and the size of the facility. Because of the relatively small samples within many of the selected facilities, it is especially important to consider the possibility of sampling error when interpreting the survey results. Estimates of the standard errors for selected measures of sexual victimization are presented in tables that provide national-level estimates. These estimates may be used to construct confidence intervals around the survey estimates (e.g., numbers, percents, and rates), as well as to test for significant differences between the estimates. For example, the 95%-confidence interval around the percent of male youth reporting sexual victimizations by another youth is approximately 2.0% plus or minus 1.96 times 0.2% (or 1.6% to 2.4%). Based on similarly conducted samples, 95% of the intervals would be expected to contain the true (but unknown) percentage. The standard errors may also be used to construct confidence intervals around differences in the estimates. The 95%-confidence interval comparing the percent of male youths (2.0%) and female youths (9.1%) reporting sexual victimization may be calculated. The confidence interval around the difference of 7.1% is approximately plus or minus 1.96 times 2.2% (the square root of the pooled variance estimate, 4.9%). The pooled variance estimate is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of each standard error squared, e.g., the square root of (0.2)2 plus (2.2)2. Since the interval (2.8% to 11.4%) does not include zero, the difference between male youth and female youth is considered statistically significant. To express the possible variation due to sampling associated with facility-level estimates, tables in this report provide lower and upper bounds of the related 95%-confidence intervals. Because many facility samples are small and the estimates are close to 0%, confidence intervals were constructed using an alternative method developed by Wilson. Computationally, this method produces an asymmetrical confidence interval 18 Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09 around the facility estimates, in which the lower bound is constrained to be greater than or equal to 0% and the upper bound is less than or equal to 100%. It also provides confidence intervals for facilities in which the survey estimates are zero (but other similarly conducted surveys could yield non-zero estimates). Exposure period For purposes of calculating comparative rates of sexual victimization, the facility provided the most recent date of admission to the current facility. If the date of admission was at least 12 months prior to the date of the survey, youth were asked questions related to their experiences during the last 12 months. If the admission date was less than 12 months prior to the interview, youth were asked about their experiences since they arrived at the facility. The average exposure period for sexual victimization among sampled youth was 6.9 months in ILP facilities and 6.0 months in PGC facilities. Overall, the average exposure period was 6.3 months. Ten of the 13 high rate facilities had longer average exposure periods (ranging from 6.9 months to 10.6 months). Three of the 11 low rate facilities had average exposure periods shorter than 6.3 months (not shown in tables). Measuring sexual victimization The NSYC relied on the reporting of direct experience of each youth, rather than youth reporting on the experience of other youth. The strategy was to first ask if the youth had engaged in any type of sexual activity at the facility within the last 12 months or since they entered the facility, if they had been in the facility for less than 12 months. These questions were not specific to the perpetrator or whether the sexual activity was coerced. The initial series of questions differed by the age of the youth. Youth ages 15 or older were administered questions related to the touching of body parts in a sexual way, involving oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Youth ages 14 or younger, were asked less detailed questions about sexual activity. Rather than referring to explicit body parts and acts, the items had less explicit language (i.e., "private parts"). This was done to avoid exposing younger respondents to explicit sexual references. (See pages 20-21 for specific survey items.) Youth who reported sexual activity were then asked if the activities occurred with other youth or with staff. They were next asked questions about the presence and nature of coercion (including use of physical force or threat of physical force; other type of force or pressure; or return for money, favors, protection, or other special treatment) associated with the youth-onyouth activities. A separate but identical set of questions was asked about coercion associated with staff-on-youth activities. (See page 22 for specific survey items.) If the respondent did not report any sexual contact in the initial screening items, the ACASI survey administered a series of questions that asked if the youth had been coerced to engage in sexual activity. If a youth answered affirmatively, he/she was asked if the event occurred with another youth or with a staff member. Follow-up questions, comparable to the initial screener questions, were asked of those who reported victimization. The ACASI survey presented additional questions related to both youth-on-youth and staffon-youth sexual victimization. These questions collected further information on the characteristics of the victimization, such as time and location, number, race/Hispanic origin, and gender of perpetrators; injuries sustained and medical care received by the youth as a result of the assault; and reporting of the assault to authorities and action taken by them after the assault. The entire ACASI questionnaires (listed as National Survey of Youth in Custody) are available on t he BJS web site at (last accessed December 22, 2009). Definition of terms Sexual victimization--includes any forced sexual activity with another youth (nonconsensual sexual acts and other sexual contacts) and all sexual activity with facility staff (staff sexual misconduct and staff sexual misconduct excluding touching). Nonconsensual sexual acts--includes forced sexual acts with another youth and all sexual acts with facility staff involving contact with the penis and the vagina or penis and the anus; contact between the mouth and the penis, vagina, or anus; penetration of the anal or vaginal opening of another person by a hand, finger, or other object; and rubbing of another person's penis or vagina by a hand. Other sexual contacts only--includes kissing on the lips or other part of the body, looking at private body parts, being shown something sexual like pictures or a movie, and engaging in some other sexual act that did not involve touching. Staff sexual misconduct--includes all sexual activity with facility staff including contact with the penis and the vagina or the penis and the anus; contact between the mouth and the penis, vagina, or anus; penetration of the anal or vaginal opening of another person by a hand, finger, or other object; rubbing of another person's penis or vagina by a hand; kissing on the lips or other part of the body; looking at private body parts; being shown something sexual like pictures or a movie; and engaging in some other sexual act that did not involve touching. Staff sexual misconduct excluding touching-- includes sexual activity with facility staff involving contact with the penis and the vagina or the penis and the anus; contact between the mouth and the penis, vagina, or anus; penetration of the anal or vaginal opening of another person by a hand, finger, or other object; and rubbing of another person's penis or vagina by a hand. Forced sexual activity--includes sexual activity between youth and facility staff as a result of physical force or threat of physical force; force or pressure of some other type (e.g. threatening with harm, threatening to get the youth in trouble, pressuring the youth, or forcing or pressuring in some other way); and in return for money, favors, protection, or other special treatment.
