3.In this Act:
(1)The term Administrator means
the Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention.
(2)The
term community means a unit of local government or an Indian
Tribe, or part of such a unit or Tribe, as determined by such a unit or Tribe
for the purpose of applying for a grant under this Act.
(3)Designated
geographic areaThe term
designated geographic area means a 5-digit postal ZIP Code
assigned to a geographic area by the United States Postal Service.
(4)The
term evidence-based, when used with respect to a practice relating
to juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity prevention and
intervention, means a practice (including a service, program, or strategy) that
has statistically significant juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang
activity reduction outcomes when evaluated by—
(A)an experimental
trial, in which participants are randomly assigned to participate in the
practice that is the subject of the trial; or
(B)a
quasi-experimental trial, in which the outcomes for participants are compared
with outcomes for a control group that is made up of individuals who are
similar to such participants.
(5)The
term intervention means the provision of programs and services
that are supported by research, are evidence-based or promising practices, and
are provided to youth who are involved in, or who are identified by
evidence-based risk assessment methods as being at high risk of continued
involvement in, juvenile delinquency or criminal street gangs, as a result of
indications that demonstrate involvement with problems such as truancy,
substance abuse, mental health treatment needs, or siblings who have had
involvement with juvenile or criminal justice systems.
(6)Juvenile
delinquency and criminal street gang activity preventionThe term
juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity prevention
means the provision of programs and resources to children and families who have
not yet had substantial contact with criminal justice or juvenile justice
systems, that—
(A)are designed to
reduce potential juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity risks;
and
(B)are evidence-based
or promising educational, health, mental health, school-based, community-based,
faith-based, parenting, job training, social opportunities and experiences, or
other programs, for youth and their families, that have been demonstrated to be
effective in reducing juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity
risks.
(7)The
term promising, when used with respect to a practice relating to
juvenile delinquency and criminal street gang activity prevention and
intervention, means a practice that is not evidence-based, but—
(A)that has outcomes
from an evaluation that demonstrate that such practice reduces juvenile
delinquency or criminal street gang activity; or
(B)about which a study is being conducted to
determine if such practice is evidence-based.
(8)The
term youth means—
(A)an individual who
is 18 years of age or younger; or
(B)in any State in
which the maximum age at which the juvenile justice system of such State has
jurisdiction over individuals exceeds 18 years of age, an individual who is
such maximum age or younger.
4.The Congress finds as follows:
(1)Youth gang crime
has taken a toll on a number of urban communities, and senseless acts of
gang-related violence have imposed economic, social, and human costs.
(2)The use of a wide
range of evidence-based and promising programs, integrated into a
youth-oriented community system of care, has been demonstrated to reduce youth
violence, delinquency, and crime risks, as well as criminal justice, public
assistance, victim assistance, and other costs.
(3)Coordinated
efforts of stakeholders in the juvenile justice system in a local community,
together with other organizations and community members concerned with the
safety and welfare of children, have a strong record of demonstrated success in
reducing the impact of youth and gang-related crime and violence, as
demonstrated in Boston, Massachusetts, Chicago, Illinois, Richmond, Virginia,
Los Angeles, California, and other communities.
(4)Investment in
prevention and intervention programs for children and youth, including quality
early childhood programs, comprehensive evidence-based school, after school,
and summer school programs, mentoring programs, mental health and treatment
programs, evidence-based job training programs, and alternative intervention
programs, has been shown to lead to decreased youth arrests, decreased
delinquency, lower recidivism, and greater financial savings from an
educational, economic, social, and criminal justice perspective.
(5)Criminal justice
costs have become burdensome in many States and cities, requiring reductions in
vital educational, social, welfare, mental health, and related services.
(6)Targeting
interventions at special youth risk groups and focusing upon relatively
low-cost interventions increases the probability of fiscal benefit.
(7)Savings achieved
through early intervention and prevention are significant, especially when
non-criminal justice social, educational, mental health, and economic outcomes
are considered.
(8)Evidence-based
intervention treatment facilities have been shown to reduce youth delinquency
and to be cost-effective.
(9)The prevention of
child abuse and neglect can help stop a cycle of violence and save up to $5.00
for every $1.00 invested in preventing such abuse and neglect.
(10)Quality early
childhood education programs have been demonstrated to help children start
school ready to learn and to reduce delinquency and criminal street gang
activity risks.
(11)Evidence-based
mentoring programs have been shown to prevent youth drug abuse and
violence.
(12)Evidence-based
school-based comprehensive instructional programs that pair youth with
responsible adult mentors have been shown to have a strong impact upon
delinquency prevention.
(13)After-school
programs that connect children to caring adults and that provide constructive
activities during the peak hours of juvenile delinquency and criminal street
gang activity, between 3:00 and 6:00 in the afternoon, have been shown to
reduce delinquency and the attendant costs imposed on the juvenile and criminal
justice systems.
(14)States with
higher levels of educational attainment have been shown to have crime rates
lower than the national average. Researchers have found that a 5 percent
increase in male high school graduation rates would produce an annual savings
of almost $5,000,000,000 in crime-related expenses.
(15)Therapeutic
programs that engage and motivate high-risk youth and their families to change
behaviors that often result in criminal activity have been shown to
significantly reduce recidivism among juvenile offenders, and significantly
reduce the attendant costs of crime and delinquency imposed upon the juvenile
and criminal justice systems.
(16)Comprehensive
programs that target kids who are already serious juvenile offenders by
addressing the multiple factors in peer, school, neighborhood, and family
environments known to be related to delinquency can reduce recidivism among
juvenile offenders and save the public significant economic costs.
(17)There are many
alternatives to incarceration of youth that have been proven to be more
effective in reducing crime and violence at the National, State, local, and
tribal levels, and the failure to provide for such effective alternatives is a
pervasive problem that leads to increased youth, and later adult, crime and
violence.
(18)Drug- and
alcohol-dependent youth, and youth dually diagnosed with addiction and mental
health disorders, are more likely to become involved with the juvenile justice
system than youth without such risk factors, absent appropriate prevention and
intervention services.
(19)Research funded
by the Department of Justice indicates that gang-membership is short-lived
among adolescents. With very few youth remaining gang-involved throughout their
adolescent years, ongoing opportunities for intervention exist.
(20)Excessively
punitive juvenile justice policies, including over-reliance on incarceration
and confinement of youth, particularly in the early stages of delinquent
behavior and for non-violent delinquent behavior, have been shown to increase
long-term crime risks.
(21)Children of color
are over-represented relative to the general population at every stage of the
juvenile justice system.
(22)The rise in
homicides in several cities in recent years followed declines in Federal
funding provided for law enforcement, educational, health and mental health,
social services, and other support to localities for youth, their families, and
other community-oriented programs and approaches.
(23)Direct expenditure
for jails and prisons, correctional personnel, prosecution, and law enforcement
strategies that lead to increased incarceration have been steadily increasing.
In fiscal year 2005, Federal, State, and local governments spent an estimated
$204,000,000,000 for law enforcement, incarceration, corrections, and attendant
judicial expenses, a 5.5 percent increase over the previous year.
