TITLE XLVIII—POLICE
PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHILDREN
SEC. 4801. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Police Partnerships for
Children Act of 1993’’.
SEC. 4802. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Homicide is the second leading cause of juve-
nile injury deaths for all youth 15 to 24 years of age.
(2) Homicide rates for children and youth have
more than doubled since 1950.
(3) Teenagers are more than twice as likely as
adults to be victims of violent crime, such as rape,
robbery or assault.
(4) Physical fighting severe enough to require
medical treatment for at least one participant occurs
among high school students in patterns similar to
those of homicide. The incidence rates of such physical
fighting are higher for males than females, higher for
minorities than for nonminorities, and more frequent
between acquaintances than among strangers.
(5) Children increasingly live amidst chronic
community violence and experience trauma as a re-
sult of such violence. One survey of inner-city chil-
dren 6 to 10 years of age found that over 90 percent
785
HR 3355 EAS
had witnessed some type of violence. A Chicago hous-
ing project survey found that virtually all children in
such survey had firsthand experiences with shootings
by the age of 5.
(6) Children who have been the victims of, or
who have witnessed violence, are at risk of becoming
involved in further violence if the trauma such chil-
dren have experienced is not addressed.
(7) Police frequently encounter children who
have been the victims of violence or who have wit-
nessed violence in the course of the police work, but
the police often lack the resources necessary to ade-
quately respond to such children’s needs. Child and
family service agencies have expertise in child devel-
opment and family issues that could support police
efforts.
(8) Community-based police, by their visibility
at the neighborhood level and their engagement in be-
nign activities, can provide role models and resources
to promote the well-being of children and families, as
well as to identify and refer those at risk for behav-
ioral problems.
