1974
SEC. 101. 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) There has been a dramatic increase in juve-
nile crime, particularly violent crime. Weapons of-
fenses and homicides are the 2 fastest growing violent
crimes committed by juveniles, and offenders under
the age of 21 committing more than 1⁄4 of all violent
crime.
‘‘(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 families,
community-based organizations, take into
consideration such factors as whether or not
juveniles have been the victims of family vi-
olence (including child abuse and neglect);
and
‘‘(ii) are designed to provide juveniles
with the education and other skills they
need to prevent their involvement in delin-
quency activities; and
‘‘(B) programs that assist in holding juve-
niles accountable for their actions, including a
system of graduated sanctions for each delin-
quent act, requiring juveniles to make restitution
for the damage caused by their delinquent acts,
and methods for increasing victim satisfaction
with respect to the penalties imposed on juveniles
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 system will
not be able to overcome the challenges it will face in the
coming years when the number of juveniles is expected to
increase by 30 percent.’’.
