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:

``SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

    ``Congress finds the following:
            ``(1) A growing body of adolescent development research 
        supports the use of developmentally appropriate services and 
        sanctions for youth in the juvenile justice system and those at 
        risk for delinquent behavior to help prevent youth crime and to 
        successfully intervene with youth who have already entered the 
        system.
            ``(2) Research has shown that targeted investments to 
        redirect offending juveniles onto a different path are cost 
        effective and can help reduce juvenile recidivism and adult 
        crime.
            ``(3) Minorities are disproportionately represented in the 
        juvenile justice system.
            ``(4) Between 1990 and 2004, the number of youth in adult 
        jails increased by 208 percent.
            ``(5) Every day in the United States, an average of 7,500 
        youth are incarcerated in adult jails.
            ``(6) Youth who have been previously tried as adults are, 
        on average, 34 percent more likely to commit crimes than youth 
        retained in the juvenile justice system.
            ``(7) Research has shown that every dollar spent on 
        evidence based programs can yield up to $13 in cost savings.
            ``(8) Each child prevented from engaging in repeat criminal 
        offenses can save the community $1,700,000 to $3,400,000.
            ``(9) Youth are 19 times more likely to commit suicide in 
        jail than youth in the general population and 36 times more 
        likely to commit suicide in an adult jail than in a juvenile 
        detention facility.
            ``(10) Seventy percent of youth in detention are held for 
        nonviolent charges, and more than \2/3\ are charged with 
        property offenses, public order offenses, technical probation 
        violations, or status offenses, such as truancy, running away, 
        or breaking curfew.
            ``(11) The prevalence of mental disorders among youth in 
        juvenile justice systems is 2 to 3 times higher than among 
        youth in the general population.
            ``(12) Eighty percent of juveniles in juvenile justice 
        systems have a nexus to substance abuse.
            ``(13) The proportion of girls entering the justice system 
        has increased steadily over the past several decades, rising 
        from 20 percent in 1980 to 29 percent in 2003.''.
