Attorney General shall give priority to proposals that--
            (1) are innovative in approach to the prevention of crime 
        in a specific area; and

                   TITLE VIII--NATIONAL TRIAD PROGRAM

SEC. 801. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) older Americans are among the most rapidly growing 
        segments of our society;
            (2) currently, older Americans comprise 15 percent of our 
        society, and predictions are that by the turn of the century 
        they will constitute 18 percent of the Nation's population;
            (3) older Americans find themselves uniquely situated in 
        the society, environmentally and physically;
            (4) many older Americans are experiencing increased social 
        isolation due to fragmented and distant familial relations, 
        scattered associations, limited access to transportation, and 
        other insulating factors;
            (5) physical conditions such as hearing loss, poor 
        eyesight, lessened agility, and chronic and debilitating 
        illnesses often contribute to a senior citizen's susceptibility 
        to criminal victimization;
            (6) older Americans are too frequently the victims of abuse 
        and neglect, violent crime, property crime, consumer fraud, 
        medical quackery, and confidence games;
            (7) studies have found that older Americans that are 
        victims of violent crime are more likely to be injured and 
        require medical attention than are younger victims;
            (8) victimization data on crimes against older Americans 
        are incomplete and out of date, and data sources are partial, 
        scattered, and not easily obtained;
            (9) although a few studies have attempted to define and 
        estimate the extent of abuse and neglect of older Americans, 
        both in their homes and in institutional settings, many experts 
        believe that abuse and neglect crimes are substantially 
        underreported and undetected;
            (10) similarly, while some evidence suggests that older 
        Americans may be targeted in a range of fraudulent schemes, 
        neither the Uniform Crime Report nor the National Crime Survey 
        collects data on individual- or household-level fraud;
            (11) many law enforcement agencies do not have model 
        practices for responding to the criminal abuse of older 
        Americans;
            (12) law enforcement officers and social service providers 
        come from different disciplines and frequently bring different 
        perspectives to the problem of crimes against older Americans;
            (13) the differences in approaches can inhibit a genuinely 
        effective response;
            (14) there are a few efforts currently under way that seek 
        to forge partnerships to coordinate criminal justice and social 
        service approaches to victimization of older Americans;
            (15) the Triad program, sponsored by the National Sheriffs' 
        Association (NSA), the International Association of Chiefs of 
        Police (IACP), and the American Association of Retired Persons 
        (AARP), is one such effort;
            (16) the Assistant Secretary for Aging, as the senior 
        executive branch officer formulating older Americans policy, is 
        an appropriate leader in efforts to reduce violent crime 
        against older Americans; and
            (17) recognizing that older Americans have the same 
        fundamental desire as other members of our society to live 
        freely, without fear or restriction due to the criminal 
        element, the Federal Government should seek to expand efforts 
        to reduce crime against this growing and uniquely vulnerable 
        segment of our population.

SEC. 802. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to support a coordinated effort among law enforcement, 
        older Americans organizations, and social service agencies to 
        stem the tide of violence against older Americans and support 
        media and nonmedia strategies aimed at increasing both public 
        understanding of the problem and the older Americans' skills in 
        preventing crime against themselves and their property; and
            (2) to address the problem of crime against older Americans 
        in a systematic and effective manner by promoting and expanding 
        collaborative crime prevention programs, such as the Triad 
        model, that assist law enforcement agencies and older Americans 
        in implementing specific strategies for crime prevention, 
        victim assistance, citizen involvement, and public education.

SEC. 803. NATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND DISSEMINATION.

    (a) In General.--The Director of the National Institute of Justice 
in consultation with the Assistant Secretary for Aging shall conduct a 
qualitative and quantitative national assessment of--
            (1) the nature and extent of crimes committed against older 
        Americans and the effect of such crimes on the victims;
            (2) the numbers, extent, and impact of violent crimes and 
        nonviolent crimes (such as frauds and ``scams'') against older 
        Americans and the extent of unreported crimes;
            (3) the collaborative needs of law enforcement, health, and 
        social service organizations, focusing on prevention of crimes 
        against older Americans, to identify, investigate, and provide 
        assistance to victims of those crimes; and
            (4) the development and growth of strategies to respond 
        effectively to the matters described in paragraphs (1), (2), 
        and (3).
    (b) Matters To Be Addressed.--The national assessment made pursuant 
to subsection (a) shall address--
            (1) the analysis and synthesis of data from a broad range 
        of sources in order to develop accurate information on the 
        nature and extent of crimes against older Americans, including 
        identifying and conducting such survey and other data 
        collection efforts as are needed and designing a strategy to 
        keep such information current over time;
            (2) institutional and community responses to elderly 
        victims of crime, focusing on the problems associated with fear 
        of victimization, abuse of older Americans, and hard-to-reach 
        older Americans who are in poor health, are living alone or 
        without family nearby, or living in high crime areas;
            (3) special services and responses required by elderly 
        victims;
            (4) whether the experience of older Americans with some 
        service organizations differs markedly from that of younger 
        populations;
            (5) the kinds of programs that have proven useful in 
        reducing victimization of older Americans through crime 
        prevention activities and programs;
            (6) the kinds of programs that contribute to successful 
        coordination among public sector agencies and community 
        organizations in reducing victimization of older Americans; and
            (7) the research agenda needed to develop a comprehensive 
        understanding of the problems of crimes against older 
        Americans, including the changes that can be anticipated in the 
        crimes themselves and appropriate responses as the society 
        increasingly ages.
    (c) Avoidance of Duplication.--In conducting the assessment under 
subsection (a), the Director of the National Institute of Justice, in 
consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Aging, shall draw upon the 
findings of existing studies and avoid duplication of efforts that have 
previously been made.
    (d) Dissemination.--Based on the results of the national assessment 
and analysis of successful or promising strategies in dealing with the 
problems described in subsection (b) and other problems, including 
coalition efforts such as the Triad programs described in sections 801 
and 802, the Director of the National Institute of Justice, in 
consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Aging, shall disseminate 
the results through reports, publications, clearinghouse services, 
public service announcements, and programs of evaluation, 
demonstration, training, and technical assistance.

SEC. 804. PILOT PROGRAMS.

    (a) Awards.--The Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, in 
consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Aging, shall make grants 
to coalitions of local law enforcement agencies and older Americans to 
assist in the development of programs and execute field tests of 
particularly promising strategies for crime prevention services and 
related services based on the concepts of the Triad model, which can 
then be evaluated and serve as the basis for further demonstration and 
education programs.
    (b) Triad Cooperative Model.--(1) Subject to paragraph (2), a pilot

coalitions of law enforcement, victim service, and senior citizen 
advocate second service organizations. If there exists with the 
applicant county an area agency on aging as defined in section 102(17) 
of the Older Americans Act of 1965, the applicant county must include 
the agency as an organizational component in its program.
    (2) If there is not both a sheriff and a police chief in a county 
or if the sheriff or a police chief do not participate, a pilot program 
funded under this section shall include in the place of the sheriff or 
police chief another key law enforcement official in the county such as 
a local prosecutor.
    (c) Application.--A coalition or Triad program that desires to 
establish a pilot program under this section shall submit to the 
Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance an application that

        organizational component (chief, sheriff (or other law 
        enforcement official), and senior organization representative) 
        and focus of the Triad program;
            (4) a comprehensive plan including--
                    (A) a description of the crime problems facing

amount for a payment period shall be at least one percent but not more 
than 6 percent of the United States Government individual income tax 
liability attributed to the State for the taxable year ending during 
the last calendar year ending before the beginning of the payment 
period. The Secretary shall determine the Government income tax 
liability attributed to the State on the same basis as the Secretary of

subsection (b) for the period for all units of general local government 
in the State as the population of the unit bears to the population of 
all units in the State.
