TITLE 
III—SERVICES, 
PROTECTION, 
AND JUSTICE FOR YOUNG VICTIMS OF 
VIOLENCE 
SEC. 301. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Youth, under the age of 18, account for 67 percent 
of all sexual assault victimizations reported to law enforcement 
officials. 
(2) The Department of Justice consistently finds that young 
women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest 
rate of non-fatal intimate partner violence. 
(3) In 1 year, over 4,000 incidents of rape or sexual assault 
occurred in public schools across the country. 
(4) Young people experience particular obstacles to seeking 
help. They often do not have access to money, transportation, 
or shelter services. They must overcome issues such as distrust 
of adults, lack of knowledge about available resources, or pres-
sure from peers and parents. 
(5) A needs assessment on teen relationship abuse for 
the State of California, funded by the California Department 
of Health Services, identified a desire for confidentiality and 
confusion about the law as 2 of the most significant barriers 
to young victims of domestic and dating violence seeking help. 
(6) Only one State specifically allows for minors to petition 
the court for protection orders. 
(7) Many youth are involved in dating relationships, and 
these relationships can include the same kind of domestic 
violence and dating violence seen in the adult population. In 
fact, more than 40 percent of all incidents of domestic violence 
involve people who are not married. 
(8) 40 percent of girls ages 14 to 17 report knowing someone 
their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend, and 
13 percent of college women report being stalked. 
(9) Of college women who said they had been the victims 
of rape or attempted rape, 12.8 percent of completed rapes, 
35 percent of attempted rapes, and 22.9 percent of threatened 
rapes took place on a date. Almost 60 percent of the completed 
rapes that occurred on campus took place in the victim’s resi-
dence. 
(10) According to a 3-year study of student-athletes at 
10 Division I universities, male athletes made up only 3.3 
percent of the general male university population, but they 
accounted for 19 percent of the students reported for sexual 
assault and 35 percent of domestic violence perpetrators.
