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

10 read as follows: 

11 ‘‘FINDINGS

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

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

14 rate in 1999 was the lowest in the decade, there re15 mains a consensus that the number of crimes and 
3 

•HR 1900 EH 

1 the rate of offending by juveniles nationwide is still 

2 too high. 

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

4 and Delinquency Prevention, allowing 1 youth to 

5 leave school for a life of crime and of drug abuse 

6 costs society $1,700,000 to $2,300,000 annually. 

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

8 arrested for committing violent crime in 1999 was 

9 less than 18 years of age. In 1999, juveniles ac10 counted for 9 percent of murder arrests, 17 percent 

11 of forcible rape arrests, 25 percent of robbery arrest, 

12 14 percent of aggravated assault arrests, and 24 

13 percent of weapons arrests. 

‘‘(4) More than 1 14 ⁄2 of juvenile murder victims 

15 are killed with firearms. Of the nearly 1,800 murder 

16 victims less than 18 years of age, 17 percent of the 

17 victims less than 13 years of age were murdered 

18 with a firearm, and 81 percent of the victims 13 

19 years of age or older were killed with a firearm. 

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

21 drug abuse violation arrests in 1999. Between 1990 

22 and 1999, juvenile arrests for drug abuse violations 

23 rose 132 percent. 

24 ‘‘(6) Over the last 3 decades, youth gang prob25 lems have increased nationwide. In the 1970’s, 19 
4 

•HR 1900 EH 

1 States reported youth gang problems. By the late 

2 1990’s, all 50 States and the District of Columbia 

3 reported gang problems. For the same period, the 

4 number of cities reporting youth gang problems grew 

5 843 percent, and the number of counties reporting 

6 gang problems increased more than 1,000 percent. 

7 ‘‘(7) According to a national crime survey of in8 dividuals 12 years of age or older during 1999, those 

9 12 to 19 years old are victims of violent crime at 

10 higher rates than individuals in all other age groups. 

11 Only 30.8 percent of these violent victimizations 

12 were reported by youth to police in 1999. 

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

14 had been arrested were first arrested before attain15 ing 12 years of age. Juveniles who are known to the 

16 juvenile justice system before attaining 13 years of 

17 age are responsible for a disproportionate share of 

18 serious crimes and violence. 

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

20 and young juvenile offenders has changed the com21 position of violent offenders entering the juvenile 

22 justice system. 

23 ‘‘(10) These problems should be addressed 

24 through a 2-track common sense approach that ad-
5 

•HR 1900 EH 

1 dresses the needs of individual juveniles and society 

2 at large by promoting— 

3 ‘‘(A) quality prevention programs that— 

4 ‘‘(i) work with juveniles, their fami5 lies, local public agencies, and community6 based organizations, and take into consid7 eration such factors as whether or not ju8 veniles have been the victims of family vio9 lence (including child abuse and neglect); 

10 and 

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

12 develop competencies in at-risk juveniles 

13 that will prevent, and reduce the rate of, 

14 violent delinquent behavior; and 

15 ‘‘(B) programs that assist in holding juve16 niles accountable for their actions and in devel17 oping the competencies necessary to become re18 sponsible and productive members of their com19 munities, including a system of graduated sanc20 tions to respond to each delinquent act, requir21 ing juveniles to make restitution, or perform 

22 community service, for the damage caused by 

23 their delinquent acts, and methods for increas24 ing victim satisfaction with respect to the pen25 alties imposed on juveniles for their acts. 
6 

•HR 1900 EH 

1 ‘‘(11) Coordinated juvenile justice and delin2 quency prevention projects that meet the needs of 

3 juveniles through the collaboration of the many local 

4 service systems juveniles encounter can help prevent 

5 juveniles from becoming delinquent and help delin6 quent youth return to a productive life. 

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

8 by focusing on juvenile delinquency prevention programs, 

9 as well as programs that hold juveniles accountable for 

10 their acts and which provide opportunities for competency 

11 development. Without true reform, the juvenile justice sys12 tem will not be able to overcome the challenges it will face 

13 in the coming years when the number of juveniles is ex14 pected to increase by 18 percent between 2000 and 

15 2030.’’.
