Original Solicitation
              NIJ FY06 ORE R&E on Sexual Victimization in Corrections
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2006, $496,704)
This project will apply situational crime prevention (SCP), which focuses on closing off opportunities for crime, to address sexual assault and related acts of violence in 3 large county jails. This project will involve a practitioner researcher partnership between the study sites and the Urban Insitute researchers.  All research in this project will focus on sexual violence, both inmate on inmate and staff on inmate.  The researchers also plan to demonstrate how situational crime prevention measures applied to sexual violence will assist corrections practitioners to apply the knowledge to the prevention of other forms of violent behavior including self-harm.  This project will involve:  an analysis of historical data related to violent and sexually violent incidents, implementation of SCP to the facilities, apply various research methods to an outcome study, document the impact of the partnership, and conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the interventions.

Supplemental Award 1 (Fiscal Year 2007, $49,806)
This award is supplemental to 2006-RP-BX-0040, using situational crime prevention techniques to improve jail safety as it relates to sexual and other types of violence.  The NIJ required the grantee to delay its data collection period by 6 months in order for the grantee not to interfere with the legislatively mandated data collection by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.  This caused a cost overrun by the grantee and NIJ has supplemented the grant with these funds.
