                     TITLE I--FINDINGS AND PURPOSES

SEC. 1001. FINDINGS.

    (a) The rate of juvenile crime remains unacceptably high, as does 
the abuse and trafficking of drugs by and to juveniles.
    (b) The prevalence of gangs and gang-related violence has increased 
drastically over the last decade and remains a serious concern.
    (c) The prevalence of illegal gun markets fuels use of illegal guns 
by juveniles, and the number of juvenile homicides involving guns has 
increased dramatically in the past several years.
    (d) There is an increasing and urgent need to better understand the 
causes of crime and violence committed by juveniles and young adults, 
and to identify those initiatives and strategies that are effective in 
reducing and preventing juvenile and youth crime.
    (e) Accurate statistical information, collected, analyzed, and 
disseminated in a timely manner is necessary to the Nation's ability to 
fully understand, assess, and address issues related to youth violence.
    (f) Where appropriate, the Federal Government needs to be able to 
better prosecute and hold accountable juveniles who commit certain 
serious felonies.
    (g) State and local prosecutors face serious backlogs in cases 
involving young violent offenders, especially gang members, many of 
whom are repeat offenders.
    (h) Juvenile courts, prosecutorial and public defender offices, 
probation services, and correctional facilities are overburdened and 
have not been able to effectively process, detain, sentence, protect, 
or treat juvenile offenders.
    (i) Victims and witnesses of juvenile crimes need to be better 
protected by the justice system and be able to more fully participate 
in juvenile proceedings.
    (j) Emphasis should be placed on preventing youth from committing 
crimes.
    (k) The Federal Government has a unique and vital role in providing 
the leadership, focus, and resources needed to successfully address 
gangs, youth violence and juvenile crime.
    (l) The high incidence of juvenile crime in the United States 
results in an enormous annual cost and immeasurable loss of human life, 
personal security, and wasted human resources and that juvenile crime 
constitutes a growing threat to the national welfare requiring 
immediate and comprehensive action by the Federal Government to reduce 
and prevent this type of crime.

SEC. 1002. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND POLICY.

    (a) The Federal Government, through enforcement and funding 
initiatives, plays an essential role in combating juvenile crime, gang 
violence, and drug use and assisting the victims of juvenile crime. The 
Federal Government has a unique and comprehensive function that 
includes fortifying and creating new, stronger, and more effective 
alliances with States, Indian tribes, cities, counties, and communities 
in the fight against juvenile crime, its causes, and consequences.
    (b) It is the purpose of this Act--
            (1) to strengthen, in appropriate cases, Federal 
        prosecutions of serious and violent juvenile offenders by: 
        providing Federal prosecutors with the discretion to transfer 
        juvenile offenders to adult criminal court; expanding the 
        categories of serious felonies for which a juvenile can be 
        prosecuted as an adult in Federal court to include certain 
        firearms and drug offenses, violent crimes, and conspiracy; and 
        permitting an adjudication of delinquency for a serious drug 
        trafficking offense to qualify as a predicate offense under the 
        Armed Career Criminal Act;
            (2) to target illegal gun use and gun markets, gang 
        involvement, gang violence, drug use, drug trafficking, and 
        drug-related crime;
            (3) to hold juvenile offenders accountable for their 
        actions by ensuring accountability-based graduated sanctions 
        are applied for every violation of the law;
            (4) to implement a comprehensive and effective effort that 
        provides necessary resources and other support for State, 
        tribal, and local juvenile crime enforcement, intervention, 
        sanction, and prevention initiatives;
            (5) to assist State and local communities in effectively 
        and efficiently addressing and preventing juvenile substance-
        abuse and drug-related juvenile crime;
            (6) to promote research, evaluation, and information and 
        data collection procedures and activities that identify and 
        disseminate information on effective programs and initiatives 
        that combat juvenile crime;
            (7) to test promising strategies and programs that reduce 
        or prevent juvenile crime, and establish flexible demonstration 
        programs that effectively support State and local initiatives 
        to prevent and reduce juvenile cirme;
            (8) to maintain fundamental safeguards to protect juveniles 
        from harm while in custody;
            (9) to provide resources for courts to address violent 
        juveniles and similarly use expanded corrections options for 
        juvenile offenders who pose serious danger to the community and 
        to other, less dangerous juvenile offenders;
            (10) to protect witnesses and victims of juvenile crime 
        from intimidation and expand victim access to juvenile 
        proceedings; and
            (11) to establish a new Office of Juvenile Crime Control 
        and Prevention within the Office of Justice Programs to provide 
        leadership, resources, and coordination for State, local, and 
        Indian tribal efforts.

conducted on an outpatient basis, unless the court determines that 
inpatient observation and study are necessary to obtain the desired 
information. In the case of an alleged juvenile delinquent, inpatient 
study may be ordered only with the consent of the juvenile and the 
juvenile's attorney. The agency or entity shall make a complete study 
of the alleged or adjudicated delinquent to ascertain the juvenile's 
personal traits, capabilities, background, previous delinquency or

factors. The Attorney General shall submit to the court the attorneys 
for the juvenile and the Government the results of the study within 30
