Specifically, National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data for sexual assault victims, sexual assault survey results from the Minnesota student survey, and data from the 2003 Student Health and Safety Survey conducted at the University of Minnesota during 2003 are provided.

NEW MEXICO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ON NEW MEXICO TRIBAL LAND Paul D. Steele, Nell Damon, and Kristine Denman November 2004, 22 pp. This publication looks at the characteristics of reported sexual abuse among Native Americans in New Mexico using 1999 – May 2003 data collected by the Safehouse of Albuquerque, the Children’s Advocacy Center in the area. The Safehouse maintains a database of information gathered via forensic interviews with suspected victims of child sexual abuse and includes information on any resulting prosecution. Data for 428 victims from 9 of the 22 Tribal reservations are included and were compared to 3,311 non-Tribal victims. The study found that fewer of the Native American victims reporting abuse were male than non-Tribal victims, and Native American victims were more likely to be living with friends/relatives outside the home at the time of the report. The gender of the suspected offender is more likely to be male in cases involving Native Americans, and the offender is more likely to be an extended family member.

surrounding the living arrangements of probationers convicted of a sex offense in the Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area. The study primarily focused on answering whether the living arrangements of sex offenders had an impact on community safety, especially if the residences were located in close proximity to schools and childcare centers.
