3 Bureau of Justice Statistics Reports on Sexual Victimization in Corrections Facilities Cited in the New York Review of Books

Hello.

This came up on my Government Documents listerv. We might want to know how to find these resources in case a patron asks for them.

The New York Review of Books cited three Bureau of Justice Statistics reports on sexual victimization in corrections facilities in the March 11th issue. They provided a bibliography but not web links. Here are the reports. I cannot find any of them in CGP or in DD2's shipping list database of items distributed to depositories. But you can find them through the BJS website and using Google.
