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) There has been a dramatic increase in ju-
venile delinquency, particularly violent crime com-
mitted by juveniles. Weapons offenses and homicides
are 2 of the fastest growing crimes committed by ju-
veniles. More than 1⁄2 of juvenile victims are killed
with a firearm. Approximately 1⁄5 of the individuals
arrested for committing violent crime are less than
18 years of age. The increase in both the number of
youth below the age of 15 and females arrested for
violent crime is cause for concern.
‘‘(2) This problem should be addressed through
a 2-track common sense approach that addresses the
needs of individual juveniles and society at large by
promoting—
‘‘(A) quality prevention programs that—
‘‘(i) work with juveniles, their fami-
lies, local public agencies, and community-
based organizations, and take into consid-
eration such factors as whether or not ju-
veniles have been the victims of family vio-
lence (including 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, including a
system of graduated sanctions to respond to
each delinquent act, requiring juveniles to make
restitution, or perform community service, for
the damage caused by their delinquent acts,
and methods for increasing victim satisfaction
with respect to the penalties imposed on juve-
niles for their acts.
‘‘(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. Without true reform, the criminal justice sys-
tem will not be able to overcome the challenges it will face
in the coming years when the number of juveniles is ex-
pected to increase by 30 percent.’’.
