1ST SESSION
H. R. 1829
To evaluate the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system and report on
certain information.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 13, 1995
Mr. WYDEN introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
A BILL
To evaluate the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system
and report on certain information.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Comprehensive Survey
of Young Offenders Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) Juvenile violent crime over the past decade
has increased at a rate double that for adults, reach-
ing the highest level in this country’s history.
(2) Anecdotal evidence suggests that young of-
fenders may pass through the juvenile justice and
social service systems repeatedly before being held
accountable for their actions.
(3) There is little reliable data on the effective-
ness of this country’s juvenile justice systems in en-
suring accountability and community safety, and re-
ducing recidivism.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purpose of this Act is to gen-
erate a comprehensive report on this country’s juvenile
justice systems including the flow of offenders through the
system, recidivism rates, and dispositions imposed for of-
fenses.
SEC. 3. REPORT.
Not later than 2 years after the date of the enact-
ment of this Act, the Bureau of Justice Statistics shall
submit to Congress a report on juvenile justice systems
across the country. Such report shall include the following:
(1) A survey of data now available in represent-
ative States and localities as determined by the At-
torney General (including urban, suburban, and
rural localities) regarding juvenile offenders arrested
for an offense. The survey will include the age of of-
fenders and offense as well as a comprehensive eval-
uation of intake procedures, formal and informal
proceedings, and outcomes such as dispositions, re-
sults of nonpetitioned juvenile proceedings, and re-
cidivism rates.
(2) Design and estimate costs for a program
that will improve data collection for selected States
by—
(A) identifying young offenders by name as
they flow through the system, from arrest
through intake interview, court proceedings,
and disposition;
(B) compiling young offender records that
permit analysts to study the penalty, if any,
given for each offense and for each offender;
and
(C) encouraging States, which can identify
juvenile records through fingerprints and are
prepared to allow juvenile records to be made
available for analytical purposes, to cooperate in
a pilot program to test the feasibility and value
of a new reporting system.
Æ
(3) TIME LIMIT.—No advance shall be made to
the Fund after the date occurring 5 years after the
effective date of this Act, and all advances to such
Fund shall be repaid on or before such date.
(4) REPAYMENT.—Advances made to the Fund
shall be repaid, and interest on such advances shall
be paid, to the general fund of the Treasury when
the Secretary determines that moneys are available
for such purposes in the Fund.
(e) INVESTMENT OF FUND.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall invest
such portion of the Fund that is not required to
meet current withdrawals, as determined by the Sec-
retary. Such investments may be made only in inter-
est-bearing obligations of the United States or in ob-
ligations guaranteed as to both principal and inter-
est by the United States. For such purpose, such ob-
ligations may be acquired—
(A) on original issue at the issue price; or
(B) by purchase of outstanding obligations
at the market price.
The purposes for which obligations of the United
States may be issued under chapter 31 of title 31,
of the United States Code, are hereby extended to
authorize the issuance at par of special obligations
‘‘(2) Such relief shall include—
‘‘(A) money damages for all injuries, psycho-
logical and physical, occasioned by the violation of
this section; and
‘‘(B) statutory damages equal to three times
the cost of the partial-birth abortion.
‘‘(d) A woman upon whom a partial-birth abortion
is performed may not be prosecuted under this section,
for a conspiracy to violate this section, or for an offense
under section 2, 3, or 4 of this title based on a violation
of this section.
‘‘(e) It is an affirmative defense to a prosecution or
a civil action under this section, which must be proved by
a preponderance of the evidence, that the partial-birth
abortion was performed by a physician who reasonably be-
lieved—
‘‘(1) the partial-birth abortion was necessary to
save the life of the mother; and
‘‘(2) no other procedure would suffice for that
purpose.’’.
(b) CLERICAL AMENDMENT.—The table of chapters
for part I of title 18, United States Code, is amended by
