FINDINGS AND PURPOSE

stitutes a national problem which can be met by assisting and coordi-
nating the efforts of public and private agencies engaged in combating 
the problem, and by increasing the number and extent of the services 
available for preventing and combating juvenile delinquency. It is, 
therefore, the purpose of this Act to help State and local communities 
strengthen their juvenile justice and juvenile aid systems, including 
courts, correctional systems, police agencies, and law enforcement and 
other agencies which deal with juveniles, and to assist communities 
in providing diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitative, and preventive serv-
ices to youths who are delinquent or in danger of becoming delinquent, 
to encourage the development of community-based rehabilitation and 
prevention programs to provide assistance in the training of personnel 
employed or preparing for employment in occupations involving the 
provision of such services, to provide support for comprehensive 
planning, development of improved techniques, and information serv-
ices in the field of juvenile delinquency, and to provide technical assist-
ance in such field.
