The National Institute of Justice has funded research in areas including the impact of sexual victimization in corrections, risk assessment and prevention, and medical and psychological effects of prison sexual victimization. As of April 2006, the agency is reviewing applications from a solicitation to explore sexual violence as it occurs within the context of other violent behavior during incarceration.
