Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003

Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile 

Correctional Authorities, 2005-06

By Allen J. Beck, Ph.D., BJS Statistician,

Devon B. Adams, Policy Analyst,

and Paul Guerino, Statistician

The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-79) 

requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to develop 

new national data collections on the incidence and prevalence of sexual violence within adult and juvenile correctional facilities. This report fulfills the requirement under 

Sec. 4(c)(1) of the Act for the collection and reporting of 

data in juvenile facilities.

In July 2005, BJS published Sexual Violence Reported by 

Correctional Authorities, 2004 (NCJ 210333), detailing the 

results from the first-ever national survey of administrative 

records on sexual violence in adult and juvenile correctional facilities. This report provides the findings from surveys conducted in 2005 and 2006 in juvenile residential 

placement facilities only. 

BJS, with the Governments Division of the U.S. Census 

Bureau as its collection agent, conducted the 2005 Survey 

of Sexual Violence (SSV) between January 1 and June 15, 

2006, and the 2006 SSV between January 1 and July 31, 

2007. These surveys of state juvenile correctional systems 

and local or private juvenile facilities were designed to 

measure the number of reported incidents of youth-onyouth sexual violence and staff-on-youth sexual misconduct and harassment. The surveys provide an understanding of what corrections officials know, what information is 

recorded, how allegations are handled, where incidents 

occur, and how officials respond to allegations brought to 

their attention. 

The surveys also collected detailed information on substantiated incidents. Items included the circumstances 

surrounding each incident, characteristics of victims and 

perpetrators, the type of physical force or pressure used, 

victim injuries, and sanctions imposed.

The administrative records surveys were not designed to 

rank systems or facilities. During 2007, BJS completed 

development and testing of methodologies for the National 

Survey of Youth in Custody (NSYC) that rely on reports of 

victimization provided directly from youth. These methodologies utilize self-administered surveys that offer anonymity 

for victims to report their experiences. The survey will be 

administered using audio computer-assisted self interview 

procedures. Youth will use headphones to follow audio 

instructions and a touch-screen to interact with a computerassisted questionnaire. When NSYC is completed by 

yearend 2008, these methodologies are expected to 

provide the data needed to permit reliable facility-level 

comparisons.

In 2004, BJS developed uniform definitions of sexual violence. Incidents of youth-on-youth sexual violence were 

classified as either nonconsensual sexual acts (the most 

serious violent forms of sexual assault) or abusive sexual 

contacts (less serious, but unwanted). Incidents involving 

staff were separated into staff sexual misconduct (any act 

of a sexual nature directed toward a youth) or staff sexual 

harassment (repeated verbal statements of a sexual nature 

to a youth). For this report, all such incidents are considered sexual violence. (See Methodology for detailed definitions.)

Detailed tabulations of the results of the 2005 and 2006 

SSV surveys are presented by state systems and sampled 

facilities in appendix tables 1a through 5d, available on the 

BJS web site at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/

svrjca0506.pdf.
2 Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06

2005 and 2006 surveys covered all state systems and a 

representative sample of local and private facilities

The surveys included all state-operated juvenile systems. 

In addition, a representative sample was drawn from locally 

and privately operated facilities. Entire systems were 

selected to maximize reporting coverage. Local and private 

facilities were sampled to ensure at least one in each state 

and with probabilities proportionate to the number of youth 

assigned beds at the time of the last facility census. (See 

Methodology for a description of sampling procedures.)

As enumerated in the most recent Juvenile Residential 

Facility Census (JRFC), there were 2,746 locally or privately operated juvenile facilities in 2004.1 Altogether, the 

administrative surveys covered 279 local or private facilities 

in 2005 and 330 in 2006, which met the requirement of 

sampling not less than 10% of facilities covered under the 

Act.

More than 2,000 allegations of sexual violence reported 

each year in juvenile facilities

Reports of sexual violence varied across state juvenile systems. Every state except Montana, New Hampshire, and 

Wyoming reported at least one allegation. Among sampled 

local or private facilities, 87 (of 262 participating facilities) 

reported an allegation in 2005 and 100 (of 309 facilities) 

reported an allegation in 2006. (See Methodology for the 

list of non-participating facilities.)

Taking into account weights for sampled juvenile facilities, 

the estimated total number of allegations for the nation was 

2,047 in 2005 and 2,025 in 2006 (table 1). Expressed as 

rates, there were 16.7 allegations of sexual violence per 

1,000 youth held in juvenile facilities in 2005 and 16.8 per 

1,000 in 2006.

The rate of allegations of sexual violence in state juvenile 

correctional systems was more than 5 percentage points 

higher than the rate in local or private facilities in 2006 and 

slightly less (nearly 4 points higher) in 2005. These differences were statistically significant at the 95% confidence 

level in 2006 but were not significant in 2005. (See Methodology for calculation of confidence intervals.)

The Juvenile Residential Facility Census is conducted every two years 

by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of 

Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

About 36% of the reported allegations of sexual violence in 

state juvenile systems and local or private juvenile facilities 

involved youth-on-youth nonconsensual sexual acts; 21% 

involved youth-on-youth abusive sexual contacts; 32% 

involved staff sexual misconduct; and 11% involved staff 

sexual harassment (table 2).

Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06 3

About 1 in 5 allegations of sexual violence were 

substantiated

Allegations of sexual violence were classified as—

• substantiated, if they were determined to have occurred

• unsubstantiated, if the evidence was insufficient to make 

a final determination that they occurred

• unfounded, if they were determined not to have occurred

• investigation ongoing, if a final determination had not 

been made at the time of the data collection.

Upon completion of an investigation, 38% of youth-onyouth and 46% of staff-on-youth allegations of sexual violence were determined to have been unfounded (table 3). 

Another 40% of the youth-on-youth allegations and 35% of 

the staff-on-youth allegations were unsubstantiated. A total 

of 21% of youth-on-youth allegations and 18% of the staffon-youth allegations were substantiated.

Overall, there were 732 substantiated incidents of youth 

sexual violence in juvenile facilities (table 4). An estimated 

437 incidents involved youth-on-youth and 295 involved

staff-on-youth. The observed rates of substantiated incidents of sexual violence were higher in state juvenile systems (3.7 per 1,000 youth) than in local or private juvenile 

facilities (2.7 per 1,000 youth), but this difference was not 

statistically significant. 

The rates of substantiated incidents of sexual violence 

were higher in juvenile facilities than in adult prisons and 

jails. In 2005 and 2006, juvenile administrators reported 3.0 

substantiated incidents per 1,000 youth. This rate was 

higher than the number reported in publicly operated local 

jails (0.52 substantiated incidents per 1,000 inmates) and 

state prisons (0.46 per 1,000) during 2006.2 In part, these 

differences may reflect the impact of state and local laws 

that specify that all sexual acts involving youth below certain ages are nonconsensual. In every state, facility staff 

and administrators are also required by law to record all 

allegations and report them to law enforcement authorities 

and to child protective services. Differences between rates 

of sexual victimization in adult and juvenile facilities may 

largely be the result of more complete reporting of incidents 

and more thorough investigations when incidents of sexual 

violence involve youth.

4 Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06

Juvenile authorities provided detail on 90% of 

substantiated incidents

Juvenile administrators were asked to provide detailed 

information on each substantiated incident of sexual violence. Using a separate incident form, the 2005 and 2006 

surveys obtained incident-based data, allowing for an indepth analysis of sexual violence. Data included details on 

the circumstances surrounding each incident, characteristics of victims and perpetrators, type of physical force, 

threat of force, pressure used, sanctions imposed, and victim assistance provided.

Incident-level data were reported on 660 of the 732 total 

substantiated incidents (90%). A total of 17 substantiated 

incidents were missing from state reports, including 7 from 

Nebraska, 4 from Hawaii, and 2 from Illinois. An additional 

55 (weighted) incidents were missing due to the lack of incident-level reporting by 15 sampled local or private juvenile 

facilities. Since most systems and facilities reported fully, 

there was no evidence of any selection bias among the 660 

incidents.

Across all state systems and local or private facilities, incidents of youth-on-youth sexual violence accounted for 

nearly two-thirds of substantiated incidents (table 5). 

Approximately equal percentages of these incidents were 

reported as voluntary sexual contact between youth (22%), 

unwanted touching for sexual gratification (21%), and nonconsensual sexual acts involving force or pressure (21%). 

Sexual misconduct accounted for the greatest percentage 

of incidents involving staff (28%), while sexual harassment 

accounted for the smallest percentage (8%).

Data provided on substantiated incidents revealed that—

• Nearly two-thirds (64%) of the victims of sexual violence 

in state systems and local or private facilities were male 

and a third (36%) were female (table 6). Females were 

overrepresented among victims because at the time of 

the most recent census in 2006, they represented 15% 

of youth in residential placement.3

• More than half (54%) of the victims were white, compared to 35% of all youth in juvenile facilities nationwide.

• Among victims of sexual violence, 33% were black and 

11%, Hispanic; however, among all youth held in residential placement or juvenile correctional facilities in 

2006, 40% were black and 20%, Hispanic.

• About 46% of victims were age 16 or 17, which was not 

statistically different from their representation among all 

youth held (52%).

Victims of substantiated incidents of youth-on-youth sexual 

violence were more likely to be male (73%) than victims of 

staff-on-youth violence (49%). Victims of staff sexual 

violence were more likely to be female (51%) than victims 

of youth-on-youth sexual violence (27%). Nearly 60% of 

the victims of youth-on-youth sexual violence were age 15 

or younger compared to 16% of the victims of staff sexual 

violence. Victims of staff sexual violence were typically 

older (65% age 16 or 17 and 19% age 18 or older) than 

other victims.

Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06 5

Most sexual violence occurred outside the victim’s 

room and in the evening

More than 60% of victims reported that sexual violence 

occurred in a location other than their room or dormitory. A 

quarter of incidents took place in a common area (such as 

a shower or dayroom), 19% in a program service area 

(such as commissary, kitchen, storage area, laundry, cafeteria, workshop, hallway, classroom, or clinic), and 17% 

outside of the facility. A quarter occurred in the victim’s 

room, and 16% in a dormitory (table 7).

Youth-on-youth incidents were more likely to occur in the 

victim’s room (37%) or in a common area (32%), compared 

to staff-on-youth incidents (7% and 13%, respectively). 

Nearly a third of staff-on-youth incidents occurred outside 

the facility (31%), and a quarter occurred in a dormitory 

(24%). 

While incidents of sexual violence occurred at all times of 

the day, the majority occurred between 6 p.m. and midnight 

(44%) or between noon and 6 p.m. (35%). The most 

common times for youth-on-youth incidents to occur were 

between noon and 6 p.m. (37%) and 6 p.m. and midnight 

(36%), while staff-on-youth incidents were most likely to 

occur between 6 p.m. and midnight (59%). 

In more than two-thirds of the incidents, the victim or 

another youth reported the incident. Facility staff completed 

the initial report in about one-third of substantiated 

incidents.

Juvenile authorities reported that force, threat of force, or 

pressure was involved in 36% of youth-on-youth incidents 

(table 8). About the same percentage of incidents (35%) 

was reported as voluntary. The remainder involved 

unwanted touching for sexual gratification (32%). 

Force or threat of force was more common among male 

victims (32%) of youth-on-youth sexual violence than 

among female victims (6%). Victims under age 16 were 

more likely to have been persuaded or talked into participating in the sexual act (35%) than victims age 16 or older 

(13%). A third of older victims had been injured, physically 

forced, held down, or threatened (34%).

6 Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06

Approximately 10% of the substantiated incidents of staffon-youth sexual violence involved force or pressure (not 

shown). An additional 21% involved sexual harassment 

(14%), inappropriate touching (5%), or indecent exposure 

(2%). 

Two-thirds of the incidents (66%) were characterized as “a 

romantic relationship” or as “appeared to be willing.” (See 

the BJS web site at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/

ssv5.pdf for changes in the reporting options in the 2005 

and 2006 surveys.) Regardless of how correctional authorities reported these incidents, they are considered an abuse 

of power, involve an unknown level of coercion, and as 

such, classified as sexual violence.

Most perpetrators of youth-on-youth sexual violence 

were male, age 16 or older; most perpetrators of staff 

misconduct were male, age 25 to 29

Most incidents of youth-on-youth sexual victimization (88%) 

involved one victim and one perpetrator (not shown). Overall, 5% of youth-on-youth incidents involved a single victim 

and multiple perpetrators; 4% involved multiple victims and 

a single perpetrator; and 3% involved multiple victims and 

multiple perpetrators.

• Perpetrators of youth-on-youth sexual violence were 

typically male (78%) and age 16 or older (57%). An estimated 49% of the perpetrators were black; 40%, white; 

and 9%, Hispanic (table 9).

• About half of staff perpetrators were male (54%) and a 

majority were under the age of 30 (63%). Among staff 

perpetrators, 37% were white; 44%, black; and 19%, 

Hispanic (table 10).

• Supervision staff was involved in 69% of female staff-onyouth sexual misconduct and harassment and in 39% of 

male staff-on-youth sexual misconduct and harassment. 

Among incidents involving male staff, more than half 

were educational or other program staff.

• Contract employees were involved in 5% of substantiated staff-on-youth incidents.

Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06 7

• Among male staff perpetrators, more than a quarter 

(27%) had worked at the facility for less than 6 months. 

Among female staff perpetrators, nearly half (48%) had 

worked at the facility for less than 6 months.

Victims received physical injuries in 12% of 

substantiated incidents of youth-on-youth sexual 

violence; about half received some form of medical 

follow-up

Across all substantiated incidents of youth-on-youth sexual 

violence, about 1 in 8 victims (12%) sustained an injury 

(table 11). Anal or vaginal tearing was reported in 8% of the 

incidents.

Victims received medical attention and counseling or mental health treatment in nearly two-thirds of the incidents. 

Among the most serious incidents (i.e., nonconsensual 

sexual acts), 52% of the victims were given a medical 

examination; 10% were administered a rape kit; and 65% 

were provided counseling or mental health treatment.

Nearly half of the victims of staff-on-youth sexual misconduct or harassment received counseling or mental health 

treatment (table 12). About two-thirds of victims of staff sexual misconduct or harassment in state juvenile correctional 

systems did not receive medical follow-up, compared to 

44% of victims in local or private facilities. One in five victims in local or private facilities was tested for HIV/AIDS 

(20%) or for another sexually transmitted disease (STD) 

(20%). 

The most common responses following a reported incident 

of youth-on-youth sexual violence was to move the victim 

within the facility (24%), place the victim in segregation or 

protective custody (10%), or transfer the youth to another 

facility (10%). In about half of the incidents (52%), there 

was no change in the housing assignment or custody level 

of the victimized youth.

8 Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06

Most youth-on-youth perpetrators received legal sanctions or solitary confinement; most staff were arrested, 

referred for prosecution, or discharged

• A legal sanction, including referral to law enforcement, 

arrest, referral for prosecution, or a new sentence, was 

imposed on perpetrators in 63% of all substantiated incidents involving youth-on-youth nonconsensual sexual 

acts and in 27% of the incidents involving abusive sexual 

contact.

• In the most serious incidents, youth perpetrators were 

moved to solitary confinement or disciplinary segregation (28%) or transferred to another unit/facility (51%).

• Even in the least serious incidents (those involving voluntary sexual activity between youth), many perpetrators 

received legal sanctions (31%), were transferred to 

another unit/facility (37%), or given solitary/disciplinary 

confinement (25%).

• Nearly 40% of perpetrators of staff misconduct or 

harassment were arrested or referred for prosecution 

(table 13). 

• Among the multiple types of sanctions imposed on staff, 

discharge was the most common – 67% of the staff were 

discharged.

• Almost all staff perpetrators lost their job in local or private facilities (99%), compared to 75% of staff perpetrators in state systems.

Methodology 

Sampling designs 

The 2005 and 2006 SSV included all state-operated juvenile residential placement facilities used to house juveniles 

and youthful offenders, regardless of age or reason for 

placement. As defined in the 2004 Juvenile Residential 

Facility Census (JRFC), residential placement facilities 

included detention centers, training schools, long-term 

secure facilities; reception or diagnostic centers; group 

homes or halfway houses; boot camps; ranches; forestry 

camps, wilderness or marine programs, or farms; runaway 

or homeless shelters; and residential treatment centers for 

juveniles. All states and the District of Columbia operated a 

total of 501 juvenile facilities in 2004.

Separate samples of locally and privately operated facilities 

were drawn in accordance with the requirement that BJS 

draw a random sample, or other scientifically appropriate 

sample, of not less than 10 percent of all facilities covered 

under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-

79). 

In the 2005 survey, facilities were first grouped into locally 

operated facilities (700) and privately operated facilities 

(2,046) and sampled independently:

1. 37 locally operated facilities were selected because 

they were the largest in their respective states.

2. 37 other locally operated facilities were selected with 

probabilities proportionate to size, where the measure 

of size was the total number of persons assigned to 

beds in the facility. One was selected with certainty due 

to its size; 36 were sampled from 8 strata based on 

region and commitment status. Region had 4 levels 

(midwest, northeast, south, and west), while commitment status had 2 levels. Detention centers, reception/

diagnostic centers, and shelters were considered noncommitment facilities, and schools, ranches, camps, 

farms, halfway houses, and group homes were considered commitment facilities.

3. 51 privately operated juvenile facilities were sampled 

with certainty because they were the largest in their 

respective states. An additional 4 privately operated 

facilities were selected with certainty due to their size.

4. 150 of the remaining 1,991 private facilities were sampled from 8 strata defined by region and commitment 

status. Probabilities of selection were proportionate to 

size, with equal sample proportions across strata.

While 279 non-state facilities were sampled in the 2005 

survey, an additional 51 units were included in the sample 

in 2006, bringing the total number of non-state facilities in 

the 2006 sample to 330. The sample was expanded to 

ensure representation of non-state detention facilities. 

In the 2006 survey, non-state facilities were grouped into 

3 categories: locally operated facilities (256), privately 

operated facilities (1,921), and detention facilities (569): 

1. 37 locally operated facilities were sampled with certainty because they were the largest in their respective 

states, and 1 additional facility was included in the sample based on its size alone. 

2. 20 locally operated facilities that were not the largest in 

their respective states were sampled with probabilities 

proportionate to size from 2 strata based on commitment status only.

3. 51 privately operated facilities were sampled with certainty as the largest in their respective states, and 1 

additional facility was included in the sample based on 

its size alone. 

4. 112 other privately operated facilities were sampled 

with probabilities proportionate to size from 2 strata 

defined by commitment status only.

5. 108 non-state detention facilities were sampled. Fourteen facilities were included in the sample based on 

their sizes alone, while the remaining 94 facilities were 

stratified by region and selected with probability proportionate to size.

Data for each state system and sampled facility are displayed in the Appendix tables. In each table, a measure of 

population size (based on the number of youth held at 

yearend) has been provided as a basis of comparison; 

however, the survey results should not be used to rank systems or facilities. Variations in the number of allegations 

and substantiated incidents may reflect differences in definitions and reporting criteria, as well as variations in procedures for recording allegations and in the thoroughness of 

subsequent investigations.

Survey participation

All state systems and the District of Columbia participated 

in the surveys in both years. In the 2005 survey, all 74 

locally operated facilities and 188 (of 205) privately operated facilities responded to the survey. Among those not 

responding, 11 had closed or were not eligible. Six facilities 

refused or did not respond to repeated requests, including:

• Wilderness Program for Boys, Enterprise, Alabama

• Tuolumne House, Turlock, California

• Brown House, Turlock, California

• Excelsior Youth Center, Aurora, Colorado

• Colorado Boys Ranch, La Junta, Colorado

• Klingberg Family Centers, Inc., New Britain, 

Connecticut.
10 Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06

In the 2006 survey, 55 (of 58) locally operated facilities, 149 

(of 164) privately operated facilities, and 105 (of 108) nonstate detention facilities responded. Among nonrespondents, 15 had closed or were not eligible. Seven facilities 

refused or did not respond to repeated requests, including:

• Camp John Munz, Lake Hughes, California

• Camp Karl Holton, San Fernando, California

• Main Campus, Chatsworth, California

• Oak Hill Youth Center, District of Columbia

• Sargent House, Boston, Massachusetts

• Hennipen County Home School, Minnetonka, Minnesota

• Buchanan County Academy, St. Joseph, Missouri

Definitions of sexual violence

In 2004, BJS developed uniform definitions of sexual violence. All incidents of youth-on-youth sexual violence 

involve sexual contacts with any person without his or her 

consent, or with a person who is unable to consent or 

refuse. The most serious incidents, nonconsensual sexual 

acts, include:

• Contact between the penis and the vagina or the penis 

and the anus including penetration, however slight; or 

• Contact between the mouth and the penis, vagina, or 

anus; or

• Penetration of the anal or genital opening of another person by a hand, finger, or other object. 

The less serious incidents, abusive sexual contacts, 

include:

• Intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or 

buttocks of any person.

Incidents of staff-on-youth sexual violence are separated 

into two categories. 

Staff sexual misconduct includes any behavior or act of a 

sexual nature, either consensual or nonconsensual, 

directed toward a youth by an employee, volunteer, official 

visitor, or agency representative. Such acts include:

• Intentional touching of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, 

inner thigh, or buttocks with the intent to abuse, arouse, 

or gratify sexual desire; or

• Completed, attempted, threatened, or requested sexual 

acts; or

• Occurrences of indecent exposure, invasion of privacy, 

or staff voyeurism for sexual gratification.

Staff sexual harassment involves repeated verbal statements or comments of a sexual nature to a youth by an 

employee, volunteer, official visitor, or agency representative. Such statements include demeaning references to 

gender or derogatory comments about body or clothing; or 

profane or obscene language or gestures.

National estimates and accuracy

Survey responses were weighted to produce national estimates by type of facility. Data from the state juvenile systems received a weight of 1.00, because these systems 

were all selected (i.e., sampled with certainty). Data from 

local and private facilities were assigned a weight equal to 

the inverse of their probabilities of selection. 

Survey estimates for local and private juvenile facilities are 

subject to sampling error. The error, as measured by an 

estimated sampling error, varies by the size of the estimate 

and the size of the base population. Estimates of the standard errors for selected survey items are presented in 

tables 14 and 15.

These standard errors may be used to construct confidence intervals around survey estimates (e.g., numbers, 

rates, and percentages), as well as differences in these 

estimates. The 95% confidence interval around the number 

of allegations of sexual violence in local or private juvenile 

facilities in 2006 is approximately 1,239 plus or minus 1.96 

times 216. Statistically, this implies a 95% confidence that 

the true number of allegations in 2006 was between 816 

and 1,661. 

Detail on substantiated incidents

The 2005 and 2006 surveys recorded 405 substantiated 

incidents of youth sexual violence—that is, incidents that 

were investigated and determined to have occurred. Taking 

into account the sampling of local and private juvenile facilities, the estimated total number of substantiated incidents 

for the U.S. was 732. Juvenile authorities provided detail on 

an estimated 660 incidents (or 90% of all substantiated 

incidents). Through the use of a separate incident form, the 

survey collected details on circumstances surrounding 

each incident, characteristics of victims and perpetrators, 

type of force, threat of force, pressure used, sanctions 

imposed, and victim assistance provided. 
Sexual Violence Reported by Juvenile Correctional Authorities, 2005-06 11

Because the number of substantiated incidents were relatively infrequent (2.4 per 1,000 youth in 2006 and 5.7 per 

1,000 youth in 2005), and because the standard errors for 

estimates in non-state facilities were relatively large, the 

survey results for each year were combined to provide 

more accurate estimates. 

Standard errors may be used to construct confidence intervals around these combined survey estimates. For each 

combined estimate, the standard error may be calculated 

by taking the square root of the sum of each standard error 

squared in each survey year. The standard error for the 

number of substantiated incidents of youth-on-youth sexual 

violence in 2005 was 45.2 in 2005 and 27.7 in 2006. The 

pooled standard error was 53.0 (or the square root of 45.22 

plus 27.72). Statistically, this implies a 95% confidence that 

the true number of substantiated youth-on-youth incidents 

in 2005 and 2006 was 439 plus or minus 1.96 times 53.0 

(between 335 and 543).
