摘要：In 2012, national standards of practice for juvenile facilities were implemented in response to the Federal law known as the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA; 28 C.F.R. § 115.341), which mandated the implementation of objective screening procedures at juvenile facilities to identify individuals who are at risk of sexual victimization or sexual misconduct. This Issue Brief explains the design and validation of the State of Connecticut Judicial Branch, Court Support Services Division (CT JBCSSD) PREA screening tool and its validation process to provide guidance to other agencies looking to either a) examine the integrity of their PREA screening tool, or b) adopt the CT JBSCCD version.
