TITLE I--AMENDMENTS TO JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT 
                                OF 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 juvenile 
        delinquency, particularly violent crime committed by juveniles. 
        Weapons offenses and homicides are 2 of the fastest growing 
        crimes committed by juveniles. More than \1/2\ of juvenile 
        victims are killed with a firearm. Approximately \1/5\ of the 
        individuals arrested for committing violent crime are less than 
        18 years of age. The increase in both the number of youth below 
        the age of 15 and females arrested for violent crime is cause 
        for concern.
            ``(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, 
                        local public agencies, and community-based 
                        organizations, and take into consideration such 
                        factors as whether or not juveniles have been 
                        the victims of family violence (including child 
                        abuse and neglect); and
                            ``(ii) are designed to reduce risks and 
                        develop competencies in at-risk juveniles that 
                        will prevent, and reduce the rate of, violent 
                        delinquent behavior; and
                    ``(B) programs that assist in holding juveniles 
                accountable for their actions, including a system of 
                graduated sanctions to respond to each delinquent act, 
                requiring juveniles to make restitution, or perform 
                community service, 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.''.

    Section 102 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act
