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 two of the fastest growing 
        crimes committed by juveniles. More than one-half of juvenile 
        victims are killed with a firearm. Approximately one-fifth 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

        public safety by encouraging accountability for acts of 
        juvenile delinquency; and

        juvenile crime through the provision of technical assistance,

fingerprinting and photographing a juvenile who is the subject of any 
proceeding authorized under this chapter. Such guidelines shall address 
the availability of pictures of any juvenile taken into custody but not 
prosecuted as an adult. Fingerprints and photographs of a juvenile who 
is prosecuted as an adult shall be made available in the manner 
applicable to adult offenders.

        of the United States attorney making the request and the level 
        of violent youth crime committed in the district for which the 
        United States attorney is appointed.

        allocate--

                    ``(B) of the total funds remaining after the 
                allocation under subparagraph (A), to each State, an 
                amount which bears the same ratio to the amount of 
                remaining funds described in this subparagraph as the 
                population of people under the age of 18 living in such 
                State for the most recent calendar year in which such 
                data is available bears to the population of people 
                under the age of 18 of all the States for such fiscal 
                year.
            ``(2) Proportional reduction.--If amounts available to 
        carry out paragraph (1)(A) for any payment period are 
        insufficient to pay in full the total payment that any State is 
        otherwise eligible to receive under paragraph (1)(A) for such 
        period, then the Attorney General shall reduce payments under 
        paragraph (1)(A) for such payment period to the extent of such 
        insufficiency. Reductions under the preceding sentence shall be 
        allocated among the States (other than States whose payment is 
        determined under paragraph (2)) in the same proportions as 
        amounts would be allocated under paragraph (1) without regard 
        to paragraph (2).
            ``(3) Prohibition.--No funds allocated to a State under 
        this subsection or received by a State for distribution under

        than 75 percent of such amounts received among units of local 
        government, for the purposes specified in section 1801. In 
        making such distribution the State shall allocate to such units 
        of local government an amount which bears the same ratio to the 
        aggregate amount of such funds as--
            ``(A) the sum of--

        (A) for all such units of local government in the State.

        period shall not exceed 100 percent of law enforcement 
        expenditures of the unit for such payment period.

        government's allocation that is not available to such unit by 
        operation of paragraph (2) shall be available to other units of 
        local government that are not affected by such operation in 
        accordance with this subsection.
    ``(c) Unavailability of Data for Units of Local Government.--If the 
State has reason to believe that the reported rate of part 1 violent 
crimes or law enforcement expenditure for a unit of local government is 
insufficient or inaccurate, the State shall--
            ``(1) investigate the methodology used by the unit to 
        determine the accuracy of the submitted data; and
            ``(2) if necessary, use the best available comparable data 
        regarding the number of violent crimes or law enforcement 
        expenditure for the relevant years for the unit of local 
        government.
    ``(d) Local Government With Allocations Less Than $5,000.--If under 
this section a unit of local government is allocated less than $5,000 
for a payment period, the amount allotted shall be expended by the 
State on services to units of local government whose allotment is less 
than such amount in a manner consistent with this part.
    ``(e) Direct Grants to Eligible Units.--
            ``(1) In general.--If a State does not qualify or apply for 
        funds reserved for allocation under subsection (a) by the 
        application deadline established by the Attorney General, the 
        Attorney General shall reserve not more than 75 percent of the 
        allocation that the State would have received under subsection 
        (a) for such fiscal year to provide grants to eligible units 
        which meet the requirements for funding under subsection (b).
            ``(2) Award basis.--In addition to the qualification 
        requirements for direct grants for eligible units the Attorney 
        General may use the average amount allocated by the States to 
        like governmental units as a basis for awarding grants under 
        this section.
