SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ''Improving the
Juvenile Justice System for Girls Act of 2013''.
(b) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
(1) The proportion of girls entering the justice system has
increased steadily over the past several decades, rising from
20 percent in 1980 to 30 percent in 2009. Most of these girls,
up to 73 percent, have histories of physical and sexual
violence, and their entry into the criminal and juvenile
justice system is linked to their sexual and physical
victimization.
(2) Girls' pathways into juvenile justice involvement are
distinct from boys' pathways. Girls account for a much larger
proportion of nonviolent status offenders than delinquency
offenders (40 percent compared to 14 percent, respectively).
(3) A study by the Oregon Social Learning Center found the
average reported age of first sexual encounter for girls in
juvenile justice is 6.75.
(4) The trauma of untreated physical and sexual abuse
results in lifetime consequences for girls. These consequences
include a higher risk for a number of negative social and
health outcomes such as higher mortality rates, a variety of
psychiatric problems, dysfunctional and violent relationships,
poor educational achievement, less stable work histories,
increased risk for sexually transmitted diseases and early
pregnancy, substance abuse or addiction, and increased reliance
on social services as compared to non-delinquent girls.
(5) A growing body of evidence suggests that girls who
enter the juvenile justice system have equal if not higher
rates of mental health issues than boys who enter the system.
(6) Current research and data have shown that gender-
responsive, strength-based programming providing trauma-
informed care and trauma-specific services is the most
effective means of preventing juvenile offenses and reducing
recidivism.
