      By Mr. BIDEN (for himself, Mr. Kohl, and Mr. Reed):
  S. 1165. A bill to prevent juvenile crime, promote accountability by 
and rehabilitation of juvenile crime, punish and deter violent gang 
crime, and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary.
  Mr. BIDEN. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce, along with 
Senator Kohl and Senator Reed, the Juvenile Crime Prevention and 
Control Act of 2001. This is a balanced bill that recognizes the need 
to get tough on juvenile crime and violence, attempts to break the 
dangerous link between kids and guns, and, most importantly, puts the 
Federal Government firmly behind the proposition that preventing 
juvenile violence is the most effective crime fighting measure any of 
us could craft.
  Before I discuss the specifics of the bill, let me give a brief 
overview of the current state of juvenile crime in America. Juvenile 
crime, like almost all other categories of crime, is down. Last 
December, the FBI released statistics that show the homicide arrest 
rate for juveniles down 68 percent from its 1993 peak. We are now 
experiencing the lowest rate of juvenile homicide arrests since 1966. 
Between 1994 and 1999, the arrest rate of juveniles for violent crimes, 
murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, dropped 36 percent.
  These statistics have not eased public concern about the scope and 
nature of juvenile crime. One 1998 poll showed that 62 percent of those 
asked believed juvenile crime was increasing. A poll conducted in 1999 
revealed that 71 percent thought it likely that a shooting could occur 
in a school in their community. In the face of these popular 
perceptions, the Education Department reports that American children 
face a one in 2 million chance of being killed in their school.
  Why the disparity? There are several reasons, in my opinion. First, 
and probably most importantly, while arrests of juveniles are 
unquestionably down, juvenile crime is still too high. The incidence of 
the most common crime committed by juveniles, property offenses, 
changed little throughout the last two decades. The rate of juvenile 
violent crime arrests has not yet returned to its 1988 level.
  Second, and this cannot be understated, too many of our kids have 
access to guns, and those guns are finding their way into our Nation's 
schools at an alarming rate. A report released last year by the 
Education Department revealed that over 3,500 students were expelled in 
1998 and 1999 for bringing guns to school, that's an average of 88 kids 
per week. The juvenile arrest rate for weapons crimes fell 39 percent 
from 1993 to 1999, but it too has not yet returned to 1988's low point.
  Third, the American people understand that crime cannot stay down 
forever. I like to say that fighting crime is like mowing the grass, If 
you don't keep at it, it's going to come back up. We have good, 
demographic reasons to think this is particularly true in the case of 
juvenile crime. Today, there are approximately 39 million children 
younger than age 10. These kids, the children of the baby boom 
generation, stand on the edge of their teen years, the years when every 
reliable study reveals they are most at-risk of turning to drugs and 
crime.
  What does this mean for juvenile crime? Even if we do everything 
right, even if we fund programs that work, put incorrigible juveniles 
behind bars, crack down on gun crimes, the demographic inevitability of 
this so-called ``baby boomerang" means there is likely to be a 20 
percent increase in juvenile murders by 2005. Such a jump would 
increase the overall murder rate by 5 percent. Our challenge is to make 
sure that does not happen.
  We need to take another look at the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 
Prevention Act of 1974. That Act expired on September 30, 1996, and, 
despite the good efforts of several Congresses, Members on both sides 
of the aisle, and the prior Administration, it has not been 
reauthorized. We should get that job done in the 107th Congress. The 
bill I introduce today includes provisions to reauthorize the Act, to 
fine tune some of its grant provisions, and to make some common sense 
changes to our firearms laws, changes that respect the rights of gun 
owners.
  My bill reauthorizes the Community Prevention Grant Program, commonly 
known as Title V. It funds this critical juvenile crime prevention 
initiative at $250,000,000 per year for the next six years and mandates 
that no State would receive less than $200,000 in annual prevention 
grants. These funding levels would more than double juvenile crime 
prevention funding, enough resources for localities to implement a 
comprehensive delinquency prevention strategy and then fund smart 
prevention programs that work. In Delaware, Title V funds have been 
used to sponsor programs to reduce school violence, provide transition 
counseling to students returning to their local school from alternative 
school placement, reduce suspensions, expulsions, truancy, and teen 
pregnancy, and provide services to the children of incarcerated adult 
offenders. Prevention is the key to keeping our juvenile crime rate 
down, and we need to extend Title V to guarantee that these funds 
continue to flow to States and localities.

  The bill also reauthorizes the Formula Grant Program for the next six 
years at $200,000,000 per year. I have included provisions to expand 
the permissible uses of these funds so as to make clear that employment 
training, mental health treatment, and other effective programs that 
meet the needs of children and youth in the juvenile system could be 
funded. The bill reauthorizes gang prevention programs and emphasizes 
the disruption and prosecution of gangs. It extends the juvenile 
justice mentoring program, and adds a pilot program to encourage and 
develop mentoring initiatives that focus on entire families. The bill 
also includes funds for grants to States to upgrade and enhance their 
juvenile felony criminal record histories.
  My bill includes important provisions to continue the core 
protections for incarcerated youths that were included in the original 
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974. It continues 
the Act's function of protecting children from abuse and assault by 
adults in jails by prohibiting any contact between juveniles and adult 
inmates. The bill ensures that children are not detained in any jail or 
lockup for adults, except for very limited periods of time and under 
very limited circumstances. And it continues current law's requirement 
that States address the disproportionate number of minority children in 
confinement.
  The bill authorizes $500,000,000 per year over the next six years for 
the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant program. Funded for the past 
three fiscal years, this program has never been authorized. Its purpose 
is to strengthen State juvenile justice systems. States would receive 
funds as long as they implement or consider implementing graduated 
sanctions, though this condition can be met through a reporting 
requirement. The language I have included in my bill is drawn from H.R. 
863, a measure which is currently working its way through the other 
body. I am supportive of that measure, as it will provide much needed 
funds for States to hire additional prosecutors, juvenile court judges, 
probation officers, and court-appointed defenders and special 
advocates. In years past, my State has used these funds to establish

[[Page S7500]]

a Serious Juvenile Offender program through the Delaware Division of 
Youth Rehabilitative Services, which provides an immediate secure 
placement of violent youth offenders who have violated the terms of 
their probation. Delaware has also used these funds to expand 
diversionary programs such as Teen Court and Drug Court, thus reducing 
the time between arrest and disposition of juvenile offenders, and to 
add psycho-forensic evaluators in the Delaware Office of the Public 
Defender to identify and address mental illness as a cause for 
delinquent conduct. This is a good program and it needs to be 
authorized.
  My bill also reauthorizes the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund. The 
Trust Fund, created in the 1994 Crime Bill, has been the key to our 
successful fight against crime over the past several years. 
Unfortunately, it expired in 2000. The Violent Crime Reduction Trust 
Fund was the vehicle for providing billions of dollars to State and 
local governments to implement a variety of law enforcement and crime-
fighting initiative, from the COPS program to the Violence Against 
Women Act to youth violence programs. Without the Trust Fund, I fear we 
may not have the resources necessary to continue our struggle to keep 
our streets safe. I am pleased to include provisions in this bill that 
will extend the Fund through fiscal year 2007.
  Finally, the bill I am introducing today includes several common 
sense gun safety provisions. First, it incorporates Senator Reed's Gun 
Show Background Check Act. This language will ensure that criminals 
cannot purchase guns at gun shows, and I applaud Senator Reed for his 
leadership in this area. Second, I have included Senator Kohl's Child 
Safety Lock Act. This moderate provision would require handguns to be 
sold with government-certified trigger locks. Studies indicate trigger 
locks save lives; I was pleased to see the Administration's endorsement 
of this idea in its budget request for the upcoming fiscal year; and I 
thank Senator Kohl for including his bill in this larger measure today. 
Third, the bill would extend the Brady Law to dangerous juvenile 
offenders. This provision would make it unlawful for any person 
adjudicated a juvenile delinquent for serious drug offenses or violent 
felonies to possess firearms. This is an important step toward getting 
guns out of the hands of criminals, and its enactment will prevent 
violent juveniles from accessing weapons and thus make it difficult for 
them to commit gun crimes as adults.
  This is not a perfect bill, and I am not wedded to each and every 
line. I welcome comments from my colleagues, the juvenile justice 
community, and anyone interested in preventing and controlling juvenile 
crime. I am committed, however, to renewing our efforts to keep our 
children and our communities safe from crime and violence. I am 
committed to protecting our kids through meaningful prevention and 
intervention programs, to cracking down on drugs and the violence that 
accompanies them, and to ensuring that meaningful, appropriate and 
swift punishment is imposed on all juvenile offenders. I believe the 
Juvenile Crime Prevention and Control Act that I introduce today is an 
important step toward accomplishing these goals.
  I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the 
Record.
  There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

              TITLE II--PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM VIOLENCE

                 Subtitle A--Gun Show Background Checks

     SECTION 201. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Gun Show Background 
     Check Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) more than 4,400 traditional gun shows are held annually 
     across the United States, attracting thousands of attendees 
     per show and hundreds of Federal firearms licensees and 
     nonlicensed firearms sellers;
       (2) traditional gun shows, as well as flea markets and 
     other organized events, at which a large number of firearms 
     are offered for sale by Federal firearms licensees and 
     nonlicensed firearms sellers, form a significant part of the 
     national firearms market;
       (3) firearms and ammunition that are exhibited or offered 
     for sale or exchange at gun shows, flea markets, and other 
     organized events move easily in and substantially affect 
     interstate commerce;
       (4) in fact, even before a firearm is exhibited or offered 
     for sale or exchange at a gun

[[Page S7513]]

     show, flea market, or other organized event, the gun, its 
     component parts, ammunition, and the raw materials from which 
     it is manufactured have moved in interstate commerce;
       (5) gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events at 
     which firearms are exhibited or offered for sale or exchange, 
     provide a convenient and centralized commercial location at 
     which firearms may be bought and sold anonymously, often 
     without background checks and without records that enable gun 
     tracing;
       (6) at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events 
     at which guns are exhibited or offered for sale or exchange, 
     criminals and other prohibited persons obtain guns without 
     background checks and frequently use guns that cannot be 
     traced to later commit crimes;
       (7) many persons who buy and sell firearms at gun shows, 
     flea markets, and other organized events cross State lines to 
     attend these events and engage in the interstate 
     transportation of firearms obtained at these events;
       (8) gun violence is a pervasive, national problem that is 
     exacerbated by the availability of guns at gun shows, flea 
     markets, and other organized events;
       (9) firearms associated with gun shows have been 
     transferred illegally to residents of another State by 
     Federal firearms licensees and nonlicensed firearms sellers, 
     and have been involved in subsequent crimes including drug 
     offenses, crimes of violence, property crimes, and illegal 
     possession of firearms by felons and other prohibited 
     persons; and
       (10) Congress has the power, under the interstate commerce 
     clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United 
     States, to ensure, by enactment of this subtitle, that 
     criminals and other prohibited persons do not obtain firearms 
     at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events.

     interstate or foreign commerce; and

       ``(i) not less than 20 percent of the exhibitors are 
     firearm exhibitors;

  Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise today with Senator Biden to introduce 
the Juvenile Crime Prevention and Control Act of 2001.
  This bill is an important step forward in the debate on juvenile 
justice. It is a comprehensive approach that recognizes prevention and 
enforcement are indispensable partners in combating juvenile crime. 
This bill addresses the issues most important to our communities, to 
the police, to the teachers, to the social workers, and most 
importantly, to the at-risk children whom we need to help. The 
legislation does this by giving crime prevention programs the priority, 
attention, and funding they deserve while recognizing that enforcement 
programs are indispensable to safer communities.
  Let me focus on one part of the legislation. The Juvenile Crime 
Prevention and Control Act increases the authorization of Title V, the 
Community Prevention Grant program, to $250 million. I worked closely 
with Senator Hank Brown to create the Title V program in 1992 because 
we listened to local law enforcement experts who told us that 
prevention works. Almost a decade later, they still say the same thing: 
a crime bill without adequate prevention is only a half-measure. That's 
just common sense.
  Congress has slowly realized the merits of crime prevention funding. 
Since 1992, funding for Title V has increased from $20 million to $95 
million. Unfortunately, almost two-thirds of that money has been 
consistently earmarked for purposes other than crime and delinquency 
prevention. The bill remedies this problem by ensuring that at least 75 
percent of all Title V Community Prevention Grants be spent on pure 
prevention and not set aside for other purposes.
  We now know that crime prevention programs like Title V work. Studies 
prove that crime prevention programs mean less crime. For example, a 
RAND Study found that crime prevention efforts were three times more 
cost-effective than increased punishment. A study of the Big Brothers/
Big Sisters' mentoring program showed that mentees were 46 percent less 
likely to use drugs, 27 percent less likely to use alcohol, 33 percent 
less likely to commit assault, and skipped 50 percent fewer days of 
school. A University of Wisconsin study of 64 after-school programs 
found that participating children became better students and developed 
improved conflict resolution skills; in addition, vandalism decreased 
at one third of the schools that participated in the programs.
  One of the reasons these programs work is that Title V is designed to 
let the people with the real expertise do what they know best. Title V 
is a flexible program of direct local grants. The flexibility permits 
each locality, through a local planning board of experts from the 
community, to determine how to best fight juvenile crime and 
delinquency. Title V trusts each community to address its unique 
problems.
  Law enforcement officials appreciate the importance of juvenile crime 
prevention programs and crave more. Last year, I surveyed every sheriff 
and chief of police in Wisconsin and found that 100 percent of 
Wisconsin's sheriffs and 100 percent of the police chiefs of 
Wisconsin's largest cities who responded to

[[Page S7516]]

the questionnaire believe more Federal money needs to be spent on crime 
prevention programs. Similarly, more than 80 percent of the police 
chiefs of small and mid-size cities in Wisconsin want more prevention 
funding.
  When asked how much of Federal juvenile crime funding should go to 
prevention, these same law enforcement officials answer that close to 
40 percent should be spent on prevention programs, far more than the 
current level of prevention funding. The Juvenile Crime Prevention and 
Control Act of 2001 listens to what local law enforcement experts have 
been telling us for years and addresses their needs.
  Of course, prevention is not the sole answer to juvenile crime. 
Indeed, we need a comprehensive crime-fighting strategy aimed at 
juvenile offenders and potential offenders, from violent predators to 
children at-risk of becoming delinquent. This legislation understands 
that. Tough law enforcement plays an essential role. Certain violent 
juveniles should be incarcerated, and hopefully rehabilitated, and this 
bill provides the States with sufficient funds to get them off the 
streets and safeguard our communities.
  Finally, no sensible juvenile crime fighting strategy is complete if 
it does not address the toxic combination of children and guns. This 
bill does that as well by mandating the sale of child safety locks with 
every handgun and insisting that those locks are designed well enough 
to work as intended.
  Each year, teenagers and children are involved in more than 10,000 
accidental shootings in which close to 800 people die. In addition, 
every year 1,300 children use firearms to commit suicide. Safety locks 
can be effective in deterring some of these incidents and in preventing 
others.
  The sad truth is that we are inviting disaster every time an unlocked 
gun is stored but is still easily accessible to children. In fact, guns 
are kept in 43 percent of American households with children. In 23 
percent of the gun households, the guns are kept loaded. And, in one 
out of every eight of those homes the guns are left unlocked.
  During the last decade, crime rates, including juvenile crime rates, 
have decreased. Since 1994, the juvenile arrest rate for violent crime 
has dropped 36 percent. Nonetheless, the public perceives that juvenile 
crime is a growing problem, especially school violence.
  We need to remain vigilant and think creatively about how to maintain 
this trend in falling juvenile crime. This measure provides a 
comprehensive approach. Prevention, enforcement, and keeping guns out 
of the hands of children are three essential elements to a common sense 
juvenile crime strategy.
