10 Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5601) is amended to read 

11 as follows: 

12 ‘‘FINDINGS

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

14 ‘‘(1) Although the juvenile violent crime arrest 

15 rate in 1999 was the lowest in the decade, there re-
3 

•HR 1900 RH 

1 mains a consensus that the number of crimes and the 

2 rate of offending by juveniles nationwide is still too 

3 high. 

4 ‘‘(2) According to the Office of Juvenile Justice 

5 and Delinquency Prevention, allowing 1 youth to 

6 leave school for a life of crime and of drug abuse costs 

7 society $1,700,000 to $2,300,000 annually. 

8 ‘‘(3) One in every 6 individuals (16.2 percent) 

9 arrested for committing violent crime in 1999 was 

10 less than 18 years of age. In 1999, juveniles accounted 

11 for 9 percent of murder arrests, 17 percent of forcible 

12 rape arrests, 25 percent of robbery arrests, 14 percent 

13 of aggravated assault arrests, and 24 percent of weap14 ons arrests. 

‘‘(4) More than 1 15 ⁄2 of juvenile murder victims are 

16 killed with firearms. Of the nearly 1,800 murder vic17 tims less than 18 years of age, 17 percent of the vic18 tims less than 13 years of age were murdered with a 

19 firearm, and 81 percent of the victims 13 years of age 

20 or older were killed with a firearm. 

21 ‘‘(5) Juveniles accounted for 13 percent of all 

22 drug abuse violation arrests in 1999. Between 1990 

23 and 1999, juvenile arrests for drug abuse violations 

24 rose 132 percent. 
4 

•HR 1900 RH 

1 ‘‘(6) Over the last 3 decades, youth gang prob2 lems have increased nationwide. In the 1970’s, 19 

3 States reported youth gang problems. By the late 

4 1990’s, all 50 States and the District of Columbia re5 ported gang problems. For the same period, the num6 ber of cities reporting youth gang problems grew 843 

7 percent, and the number of counties reporting gang 

8 problems increased more than 1,000 percent. 

9 ‘‘(7) According to a national crime survey of in10 dividuals 12 years of age or older during 1999, those 

11 12 to 19 years old are victims of violent crime at 

12 higher rates than individuals in all other age groups. 

13 Only 30.8 percent of these violent victimizations were 

14 reported by youth to police in 1999. 

15 ‘‘(8) One-fifth of juveniles 16 years of age who 

16 had been arrested were first arrested before attaining 

17 12 years of age. Juveniles who are known to the juve18 nile justice system before attaining 13 years of age 

19 are responsible for a disproportionate share of serious 

20 crimes and violence. 

21 ‘‘(9) The increase in the arrest rates for girls and 

22 young juvenile offenders has changed the composition 

23 of violent offenders entering the juvenile justice sys24 tem. 
5 

•HR 1900 RH 

1 ‘‘(10) These problems should be addressed 

2 through a 2-track common sense approach that ad3 dresses the needs of individual juveniles and society at 

4 large by promoting— 

5 ‘‘(A) quality prevention programs that— 

6 ‘‘(i) work with juveniles, their families, 

7 local public agencies, and community-based 

8 organizations, and take into consideration 

9 such factors as whether or not juveniles have 

10 been the victims of family violence (includ11 ing child abuse and neglect); and 

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

13 develop competencies in at-risk juveniles 

14 that will prevent, and reduce the rate of, 

15 violent delinquent behavior; and 

16 ‘‘(B) programs that assist in holding juve17 niles accountable for their actions and in devel18 oping the competencies necessary to become re19 sponsible and productive members of their com20 munities, including a system of graduated sanc21 tions to respond to each delinquent act, requiring 

22 juveniles to make restitution, or perform commu23 nity service, for the damage caused by their de24 linquent acts, and methods for increasing victim 
6 

•HR 1900 RH 

1 satisfaction with respect to the penalties imposed 

2 on juveniles for their acts. 

3 ‘‘(11) Coordinated juvenile justice and delin4 quency prevention projects that meet the needs of ju5 veniles through the collaboration of the many local 

6 service systems juveniles encounter can help prevent 

7 juveniles from becoming delinquent and help delin8 quent youth return to a productive life. 

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

10 by focusing on juvenile delinquency prevention programs, 

11 as well as programs that hold juveniles accountable for their 

12 acts and which provide opportunities for competency devel13 opment. Without true reform, the juvenile justice system 

14 will not be able to overcome the challenges it will face in 

15 the coming years when the number of juveniles is expected 

16 to increase by 18 percent between 2000 and 2030.’’.
