Abstract
The fact that only 12 of 1100 inmates were identified by staff as having sexually assaulted other inmates over a 12-mo. period suggests that sexual assault may not be a frequent problem in federal prisons. However, implications regarding the racial compositions of the assaulters and victims noted in the present study may represent a problem more in need of study than is that of sexual assault per se.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
