This report fulfills the mandate established by the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA; P.L. 108-79) that requires BJS to produce a report, not later than June 30 of each year, on BJS’s activities to collect data on prison rape. It is the 17th in a series on PREA data collection activities that BJS began publishing in 2009. It describes BJS’s data collection efforts in 2024 to measure the incidence and prevalence of rape and sexual assault in adult correctional and juvenile justice facilities, including through three independent collections: the Survey of Sexual Victimization, the National Inmate Survey, and the National Survey of Youth in Custody. Estimates from these collections are not directly comparable.
