SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Section 101 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 
Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5601) is amended to read 
as follows: 
‘‘FINDINGS 
‘‘SEC. 101. (a) The Congress finds the following: 
‘‘(1) Although the juvenile violent crime arrest 
rate in 1999 was the lowest in the decade, there re-
mains a consensus that the number of crimes and the 
rate of offending by juveniles nationwide is still too 
high. 
‘‘(2) According to the Office of Juvenile Justice 
and Delinquency Prevention, allowing 1 youth to 
leave school for a life of crime and of drug abuse costs 
society $1,700,000 to $2,300,000 annually. 
‘‘(3) One in every 6 individuals (16.2 percent) 
arrested for committing violent crime in 1999 was 
less than 18 years of age. In 1999, juveniles accounted 
for 9 percent of murder arrests, 17 percent of forcible 
rape arrests, 25 percent of robbery arrests, 14 percent 
of aggravated assault arrests, and 24 percent of weap-
ons arrests. 
‘‘(4) More than 1⁄2 of juvenile murder victims are 
killed with firearms. Of the nearly 1,800 murder vic-
tims less than 18 years of age, 17 percent of the vic-
tims less than 13 years of age were murdered with a 
firearm, and 81 percent of the victims 13 years of age 
or older were killed with a firearm. 
‘‘(5) Juveniles accounted for 13 percent of all 
drug abuse violation arrests in 1999. Between 1990 
and 1999, juvenile arrests for drug abuse violations 
rose 132 percent.
‘‘(6) Over the last 3 decades, youth gang prob-
lems have increased nationwide. In the 1970’s, 19 
States reported youth gang problems. By the late 
1990’s, all 50 States and the District of Columbia re-
ported gang problems. For the same period, the num-
ber of cities reporting youth gang problems grew 843 
percent, and the number of counties reporting gang 
problems increased more than 1,000 percent. 
‘‘(7) According to a national crime survey of in-
dividuals 12 years of age or older during 1999, those 
12 to 19 years old are victims of violent crime at 
higher rates than individuals in all other age groups. 
Only 30.8 percent of these violent victimizations were 
reported by youth to police in 1999. 
‘‘(8) One-fifth of juveniles 16 years of age who 
had been arrested were first arrested before attaining 
12 years of age. Juveniles who are known to the juve-
nile justice system before attaining 13 years of age 
are responsible for a disproportionate share of serious 
crimes and violence. 
‘‘(9) The increase in the arrest rates for girls and 
young juvenile offenders has changed the composition 
of violent offenders entering the juvenile justice sys-
tem.
‘‘(10) These problems should be addressed 
through a 2-track common sense approach that ad-
dresses the needs of individual juveniles and society at 
large by promoting— 
‘‘(A) quality prevention programs that— 
‘‘(i) work with juveniles, their families, 
local public agencies, and community-based 
organizations, and take into consideration 
such factors as whether or not juveniles have 
been the victims of family violence (includ-
ing child abuse and neglect); and 
‘‘(ii) are designed to reduce risks and 
develop competencies in at-risk juveniles 
that will prevent, and reduce the rate of, 
violent delinquent behavior; and 
‘‘(B) programs that assist in holding juve-
niles accountable for their actions and in devel-
oping the competencies necessary to become re-
sponsible and productive members of their com-
munities, including a system of graduated sanc-
tions to respond to each delinquent act, requiring 
juveniles to make restitution, or perform commu-
nity service, for the damage caused by their de-
linquent acts, and methods for increasing victim
satisfaction with respect to the penalties imposed 
on juveniles for their acts. 
‘‘(11) Coordinated juvenile justice and delin-
quency prevention projects that meet the needs of ju-
veniles through the collaboration of the many local 
service systems juveniles encounter can help prevent 
juveniles from becoming delinquent and help delin-
quent youth return to a productive life. 
‘‘(b) Congress must act now to reform this program 
by focusing on juvenile delinquency prevention programs, 
as well as programs that hold juveniles accountable for their 
acts and which provide opportunities for competency devel-
opment. Without true reform, the juvenile justice system 
will not be able to overcome the challenges it will face in 
the coming years when the number of juveniles is expected 
to increase by 18 percent between 2000 and 2030.’’.
