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 ac-
counted for 9 percent of murder arrests, 17 percent 
of forcible rape arrests, 25 percent of robbery arrest, 
14 percent of aggravated assault arrests, and 24 
percent of weapons arrests. 
‘‘(4) More than 1⁄2 of juvenile murder victims 
are killed with firearms. Of the nearly 1,800 murder 
victims less than 18 years of age, 17 percent of the 
victims 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 
reported gang problems. For the same period, the 
number 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 attain-
ing 12 years of age. Juveniles who are known to the 
juvenile 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 com-
position of violent offenders entering the juvenile 
justice system. 
‘‘(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 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 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, requir-
ing juveniles to make restitution, or perform 
community service, for the damage caused by 
their delinquent acts, and methods for increas-
ing victim satisfaction with respect to the pen-
alties imposed on juveniles for their acts.
‘‘(11) Coordinated juvenile justice and delin-
quency prevention projects that meet the needs of 
juveniles 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 
development. Without true reform, the juvenile 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 18 percent between 2000 and 
2030.’’.
