Juveniles are more likely to be victims of sexual assault than adults.
Over 42 per cent of all victims of sexual assaults in 1995 were children under the age of 15 years. The rate of juvenile detention in corrective institutions has decreased. In 1996 it was slightly more than half of the rate prevailing in 1981. Currently one girl is detained in custody for every 10 boys.
