9 ‘‘FINDINGS

10 ‘‘SEC. 101. (a) The Congress finds the following:

11 ‘‘(1) There has been a dramatic increase in ju12 venile delinquency, particularly violent crime com13 mitted by juveniles. Weapons offenses and homicides

14 are 2 of the fastest growing crimes committed by juveniles. More than 1 15 ⁄2 of juvenile victims are killed

with a firearm. Approximately 1 16 ⁄5 of the individuals

17 arrested for committing violent crime are less than

18 18 years of age. The increase in both the number of

19 youth below the age of 15 and females arrested for

20 violent crime is cause for concern.
4

•HR 1150 IH

1 ‘‘(2) This problem should be addressed through

2 a 2-track common sense approach that addresses the

3 needs of individual juveniles and society at large by

4 promoting—

5 ‘‘(A) quality prevention programs that—

6 ‘‘(i) work with juveniles, their fami7 lies, local public agencies, and community8 based organizations, and take into consid9 eration such factors as whether or not

10 juveniles have been the victims of family

11 violence (including child abuse and ne12 glect); and

13 ‘‘(ii) are designed to reduce risks and

14 develop competencies in at-risk juveniles

15 that will prevent, and reduce the rate of,

16 violent delinquent behavior; and

17 ‘‘(B) programs that assist in holding juve18 niles accountable for their actions, including a

19 system of graduated sanctions to respond to

20 each delinquent act, requiring juveniles to make

21 restitution, or perform community service, for

22 the damage caused by their delinquent acts,

23 and methods for increasing victim satisfaction

24 with respect to the penalties imposed on juve25 niles for their acts.
5

•HR 1150 IH

1 ‘‘(b) Congress must act now to reform this program

2 by focusing on juvenile delinquency prevention programs,

3 as well as programs that hold juveniles accountable for

4 their acts. Without true reform, the criminal justice sys5 tem will not be able to overcome the challenges it will face

6 in the coming years when the number of juveniles is ex7 pected to increase by 30 percent.’’.

13 ‘‘SEC. 102. The purposes of this title and title II

17 ‘‘(2) to assist State and local governments in

18 promoting public safety by encouraging account19 ability for acts of juvenile delinquency; and
