Description
AL description: This program fulfills the requirement in the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to “carry out, for each calendar year, a comprehensive statistical review and analysis of the incidence and effects of prison rape.” BJS’s review must include, but is not limited to, the identification of the common characteristics of both victims and perpetrators of prison rape, and prisons and prison systems with high incidences of prison rape.
