Appendix D: Regression Analysis
Appendix D1: Results
Multiple logistic regression was used to test the null hypothesis that a range of factors were
not related to the probability of a boy or young adult male detained in a YOI during 2015-16
reporting that they had ever felt unsafe in that establishment. The analysis drew upon
surveys completed in YOIs during 2015-16 (N=632).
In addition to a dichotomous (dependent) variable indicating whether the respondent had
reported ever feeling unsafe in the YOI, the following (independent) would factors were also
assessed for their inclusion in multivariate analysis:
demographics;
sentence details;
initial experiences at the establishment;
daily life and perceptions of respectful treatment;
experiences of rewards, sanctions and discipline;
access to health services;
participation in purposeful activities;
contact with family and friends;
preparation for release; and
establishment detained in.
In the first instance, univariate logistic regression analysis was undertaken involving each
independent predictor variable to assess suitability for inclusion in the multivariate analysis.
Significance levels of p<0.10 were used as a cut-off point for both univariate analysis and
multivariate inclusion criteria. The modal (or most frequent) value within each categorical
predictor variable served as the reference category. The results of these univariate analyses
are presented in Table 1.

While the chi-square value (χ²(8)=4.914) and high corresponding p-value (p=.767) for Model
A indicated a good ‘fit’ to the data. In an effort to further improve the model a backward
elimination approach was used to sequentially remove those factors with high p-values. A
further ten iterations of the model were run until only statistically significant factors
remained. The final iteration (Model B) had a lower chi-square value for the Hosmer and
Lemeshow test (χ²(8)=3.184) and a higher associated p-value (p=.922), indicating a better ‘fit’
using these data. Although the relevant log-likelihood (-2LL) value had increased (from
493.768 in Model A to 661.479 in Model B) and the Nagelkerke R-squared statistic had
decreased (from R²=.390 in Model A to R²=.330 in Model B)1, Model B now only contained
factors that were significant. The adjusted results for Model B are therefore presented in
Table 3.
1 In other words, the factors contained in Model B explain around 33 per cent of the variability in our outcome of interest (whether the detainee had ever felt unsafe in the establishment).

Appendix D2: Results
Multiple logistic regression was used to test the null hypothesis that a range of factors were
not related to the probability of a boy or young adult male detained in a YOI during 2015-16
reporting that they had ever been victimised by other young people in that establishment.
The analysis drew upon surveys completed in YOIs during 2015-16 (N=632).
In addition to a dichotomous (dependent) variable indicating whether the respondent had
reported ever being victimised by other young people in the YOI, the following
(independent) would factors were also assessed for their inclusion in multivariate analysis:
demographics;
sentence details;
initial experiences at the establishment;
daily life and perceptions of respectful treatment;
experiences of rewards, sanctions and discipline;
access to health services;
participation in purposeful activities;
contact with family and friends;
preparation for release; and
establishment detained in.
In the first instance, univariate logistic regression analysis was undertaken involving each
independent predictor variable to assess suitability for inclusion in the multivariate analysis.
Significance levels of p<0.10 were used as a cut-off point for both univariate analysis and
multivariate inclusion criteria. The modal (or most frequent) value within each categorical
predictor variable served as the reference category. The results of these univariate analyses
are presented in Table 1.

The high chi-square value (χ²(21)=163.182) and low corresponding p-value (p=.000) for
Model A indicated a poor ‘fit’ to the data. In an effort to further improve the model a
backward elimination approach was used to sequentially remove those factors with high p-
values. A further ten iterations of the model were run until only statistically significant
factors remained. The final iteration (Model B) had a lower chi-square value for the Hosmer
and Lemeshow test (χ²(8)=5.324) and a higher associated p-value (p=.722), indicating a
better ‘fit’ using these data. Although the relevant log-likelihood (-2LL) value had increased
(from 552.035 in Model A to 655.392 in Model B), and the Nagelkerke R-squared statistic
had decreased (from R²=.355 in Model A to R²=.291 in Model B), all factors in the model
were significant. The adjusted results for Model B are therefore presented in Table 3.

Appendix D3: Results
Multiple logistic regression was used to test the null hypothesis that a range of factors were
not related to the probability of a boy or young adult male detained in a YOI during 2015-16
reporting that they had been victimised by staff in that establishment. The analysis drew
upon surveys completed in YOIs during 2015-16 (N=632).
In addition to a dichotomous (dependent) variable indicating whether the respondent had
reported ever being victimised by staff in the YOI, the following (independent) would factors
were also assessed for their inclusion in multivariate analysis:
demographics;
sentence details;
initial experiences at the establishment;
daily life and perceptions of respectful treatment;
experiences of rewards, sanctions and discipline;
access to health services;
participation in purposeful activities;
contact with family and friends;
preparation for release; and
establishment detained in.
In the first instance, univariate logistic regression analysis was undertaken involving each
independent predictor variable to assess suitability for inclusion in the multivariate analysis.
Significance levels of p<0.10 were used as a cut-off point for both univariate analysis and
multivariate inclusion criteria. The modal (or most frequent) value within each categorical
predictor variable served as the reference category. The results of these univariate analyses
are presented in Table 1.

At a univariate level 24 factors (from the 35 initially examined) were found to be significantly
predictive of being victimised by staff in a YOI. Once identified as appropriate for inclusion,
the 24 predictor variables were entered into a multivariate model (on the basis of their
respective p-values and, in the event of these matching, Wald statistic). The results of this
initial multivariate modelling (Model A) are set out in Table 2.
