A BILL
To prevent crime and to reform the criminal justice system
to make it more fair.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Crime Prevention and
Criminal Justice Reform Act ’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) the current national crime and drug strat-
egy is failing;
(2) one of the main failings of the policies of
the past has been that too few resources are directed
at the root of the problem before the tragedy of
crime and violence occurs;
(3) law enforcement bears an unfair and dis-
proportionate share of the burden of addressing the
problems caused by failings in our system of health
in the prevention and treatment of drug and alcohol
abuse and prevention and inadequate support sys-
tems for our families, and in particular at-risk youth
and children;
(4) law enforcement has been forced to bear
this unfair burden without adequate resources, train-
ing, and equipment to help them provide directly for
the safety of persons and property;
(5) personal responsibility for criminal conduct
is a central element of the concept of ordered liberty,
and personal responsibility includes the obligation of
offenders to change their lives through treatment
and education so they can contribute to their fami-
lies and communities;
(6) many measures included in what is usually
called a crime bill (more death penalties, more Fed-
eral crimes, longer prison sentences) do nothing to
reduce crime and polarize and shift the focus and re-
sources away from strategies that have proven to be
more effective in addressing crime and violence;
(7) law enforcement professionals agree that
the solutions to the Nation’s crime and drug prob-
lems will be found in crime prevention measures that
include drug treatment, early childhood intervention
programs, full funding for Head Start programs and
the Women Infants and Children Program, rehabili-
tation and alternatives to incarceration, community
policing, and family support programs, as well as in
programs to rebuild communities through education,
employment, and housing;
(8) crime is an all encompassing problem and
solving the problem necessitates a multi-disciplinary
approach, including safe and drug free schools for
children to get the most out of their learning envi-
ronment, reduction and prevention of the incidence
of crime among youth through grant programs that
encourage counseling, prevention, intervention, and
the rehabilitation of youth offenders, and reduction
in the incidence of child abuse through education,
prevention, and counseling;
(9) there is a sense of distrust and a wide-
spread perception in many communities, particularly
among people of color, that the criminal justice sys-
tem values victims differently and is at times fun-
damentally unfair to criminal defendants of color;
(10) the perception and reality of racial bias in
the workings of the criminal justice system is deeply
corrosive of one of the most important institutions
in our society and the perception of unfairness robs
the criminal justice system of the respect and credi-
bility it must have to achieve its goal of keeping the
public safe and maintaining law and order;
(11) reform of the criminal justice system is
necessary to restore the credibility and respect that
have been undermined by racism, excessive and dis-
proportionate prison sentences, abusive police prac-
tices and civil forfeiture practices;
(12) a highly trained professional police force
sensitive to the needs of all members of the commu-
nity is essential in returning respect to law enforce-
ment personnel;
(13) solutions to the crime and drug problem
cannot be found at the Federal level and the Federal
Government should facilitate and encourage commu-
nity efforts to fight crime;
(14) incentives for local communities to start
community empowerment programs will make their
communities safer; and
(15) victims of violent crime have specific
needs, including counseling and restitution and too
few resources have been directed toward the support
and encouragement of the victims and survivors of
violent crime.
