This new report describes BJS?s activities on collecting data on prison rape during 2022. PREA Data Collection Activities, Calendar Year 2022 is the 13th report in a series that began in 2011 in fulfillment of BJS?s mandate established by the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA; P.L. 108-79). To implement the PREA requirements, BJS developed a data collection strategy involving multiple measures and modes. This report details that strategy to measure the incidence and prevalence of rape and sexual assault in adult correctional and juvenile justice facilities, including through the National Survey of Youth in Custody, the National Inmate Survey, and the Survey of Sexual Victimization. These collections are independent and not directly comparable.
PREA Data Collection Activities, Calendar Year 2022 (NCJ 306488) was written by BJS Statisticians Amy D. Lauger and Emily D. Buehler, PhD. The report, related documents, and additional information about BJS?s statistical publications and programs are available on the BJS website at bjs.ojp.gov.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Alexis R. Piquero, PhD, is the director.
