SEC. ____. PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM EXPLICIT SEXUAL OR VIOLENT 
                    MATERIAL.

  (a) In General.--Chapter 71 of title 18, United States Code, 
is amended by adding at the end the following:

``Sec. 1471. Protection of minors

  ``(a) Prohibition.--Whoever in interstate or foreign commerce 
knowingly and for monetary consideration, sells, sends, loans, 
or exhibits, directly to a minor, any picture, photograph, 
drawing, sculpture, video game, motion picture film, or similar 
visual representation or image, book, pamphlet, magazine, 
printed matter, or sound recording, or other matter of any kind 
containing explicit sexual material or explicit violent 
material which--
          ``(1) the average person, applying contemporary 
        community standards, would find, taking the material as 
        a whole and with respect to minors, is designed to 
        appeal or pander to the prurient, shameful, or morbid 
        interest;
          ``(2) the average person, applying contemporary 
        community standards, would find the material patently 
        offensive with respect to what is suitable for minors; 
        and
          ``(3) a reasonable person would find, taking the 
        material as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, 
        political, or scientific value for minors;
shall be punished as provided in subsection (c) of this 
section.
  ``(b) Definitions.--As used in subsection (a)--
          ``(1) the term `knowingly' means having general 
        knowledge of, or reason to know, or a belief or ground 
        for belief which warrants further inspection or inquiry 
        of--
                  ``(A) the character and content of any 
                material described in subsection (a) which is 
                reasonably susceptible of examination by the 
                defendant; and
                  ``(B) the age of the minor;
        but an honest mistake is a defense against a 
        prosecution under this section if the defendant made a 
        reasonable bona fide attempt to ascertain the true age 
        of such minor;
          ``(2) the term `minor' means any person under the age 
        of 17 years; and
          ``(3) the term `sexual material' means a visual 
        depiction of an actual or simulated display of, or a 
        detailed verbal description or narrative account of--
                  ``(A) human male or female genitals, pubic 
                area or buttocks with less than a full opaque

                intercourse;
                  ``(E) physical contact with a person's 
                clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area,

  (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the 
beginning of chapter 71 of title 18, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following new item:
``1471. Protection of minors.''.

SEC. ____. PRE-PURCHASE DISCLOSURE OF LYRICS PACKAGED WITH SOUND 
                    RECORDINGS.

  (a) In General.--It is the sense of Congress that retail 
establishments engaged in the sale of sound recordings--
          (1) should make available for on-site review, upon 
        the request of a person over the age of 18 years, the 
        lyrics packaged with any sound recording they offer for 
        sale; and
          (2) should post a conspicuous notice of the right to 
        review described in paragraph (1).
  ``(b) Definition.--The term `retail establishment' means any 
physical place of business which sells directly to a consumer, 
but does not include mail order, catalog, or on-line sales of 
sound recordings.

SEC. ____. STUDY OF EFFECTS OF ENTERTAINMENT ON CHILDREN.

  (a) Requirement.--The National Institutes of Health shall 
conduct a study of the effects of video games and music on 
child development and youth violence.
  (b) Elements.--The study under subsection (a) shall address--
          (1) whether, and to what extent, video games and 
        music affect the emotional and psychological 
        development of juveniles; and
          (2) whether violence in video games and music 
        contributes to juvenile delinquency and youth violence.

SEC. ____. TEMPORARY ANTITRUST IMMUNITY TO PERMIT THE ENTERTAINMENT 
                    INDUSTRY TO SET GUIDELINES TO HELP PROTECT CHILDREN 
                    FROM HARMFUL MATERIAL.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Television is seen and heard in nearly every 
        United States home and is a uniquely pervasive presence 
        in the daily lives of Americans. The average American 
        home has 2.5 televisions, and a television is turned on 
        in the average American home 7 hours every day.
          (2) Television plays a particularly significant role 
        in the lives of children. Figures provided by Nielsen 
        Research show that children between the ages of 2 years 
        and 11 years spend an average of 21 hours in front of a 
        television each week.
          (3) Television has an enormous capability to 
        influence perceptions, especially those of children, of 
        the values and behaviors that are common and acceptable 
        in society.
          (4) The influence of television is so great that its 
        images and messages often can be harmful to the 
        development of children. Social science research amply 
        documents a strong correlation between the exposure of 
        children to televised violence and a number of 
        behavioral and psychological problems.
          (5) Hundreds of studies have proven conclusively that 
        children who are consistently exposed to violence on 
        television have a higher tendency to exhibit violent 
        and aggressive behavior, both as children and later in 
        life.
          (6) Such studies also show that repeated exposure to 
        violent programming causes children to become 
        desensitized to and more accepting of real-life 
        violence and to grow more fearful and less trusting of 
        their surroundings.
          (7) A growing body of social science research 
        indicates that sexual content on television can also 
        have a significant influence on the attitudes and 
        behaviors of young viewers. This research suggests that 
        heavy exposure to programming with strong sexual 
        content contributes to the early commencement of sexual 
        activity among teenagers.
          (8) Members of the National Association of 
        Broadcasters (NAB) adhered for many years to a 
        comprehensive code of conduct that was based on an 
        understanding of the influence exerted by television 
        and on a widely held sense of responsibility for using 
        that influence carefully.
          (9) This code of conduct, the Television Code of the 
        National Association of Broadcasters, articulated this 
        sense of responsibility as follows:
                  (A) ``In selecting program subjects and 
                themes, great care must be exercised to be sure 
                that the treatment and presentation are made in 
                good faith and not for the purpose of 
                sensationalism or to shock or exploit the 
                audience or appeal to prurient interests or 
                morbid curiosity.''.
                  (B) ``Broadcasters have a special 
                responsibility toward children. Programs 
                designed primarily for children should take 
                into account the range of interests and needs 
                of children, from instructional and cultural 
                material to a wide variety of entertainment 
                material. In their totality, programs should 
                contribute to the sound, balanced development 
                of children to help them achieve a sense of the 
                world at large and informed adjustments to 
                their society.''.
                  (C) ``Violence, physical, or psychological, 
                may only be projected in responsibly handled 
                contexts, not used exploitatively. Programs 
                involving violence present the consequences of 
                it to its victims and perpetrators. 
                Presentation of the details of violence should 
                avoid the excessive, the gratuitous and the 
                instructional.''.
                  (D) ``The presentation of marriage, family, 
                and similarly important human relationships, 
                and material with sexual connotations, shall 
                not be treated exploitatively or irresponsibly, 
                but with sensitivity.''.
                  (E) ``Above and beyond the requirements of 
                the law, broadcasters must consider the family 
                atmosphere in which many of their programs are 
                viewed. There shall be no graphic portrayal of 
                sexual acts by sight or sound. The portrayal of 
                implied sexual acts must be essential to the 
                plot and presented in a responsible and 
                tasteful manner.''.
          (10) The National Association of Broadcasters 
        abandoned the code of conduct in 1983 after three 
        provisions of the code restricting the sale of 
        advertising were challenged by the Department of 
        Justice on antitrust grounds and a Federal district 
        court issued a summary judgment against the National 
        Association of Broadcasters regarding one of the 
        provisions on those grounds. However, none of the 
        programming standards of the code were challenged.
          (11) While the code of conduct was in effect, its 
        programming standards were never found to have violated 
        any antitrust law.
          (12) Since the National Association of Broadcasters 
        abandoned the code of conduct, programming standards on 
        broadcast and cable television have deteriorated 
        dramatically.
          (13) In the absence of effective programming 
        standards, public concern about the impact of 
        television on children, and on society as a whole, has 
        risen substantially. Polls routinely show that more 
        than 80 percent of Americans are worried by the 
        increasingly graphic nature of sex, violence, and 
        vulgarity on television and by the amount of 
        programming that openly sanctions or glorifies 
        criminal, antisocial, and degrading behavior.
          (14) At the urging of Congress, the television 
        industry has taken some steps to respond to public 
        concerns about programming standards and content. The 
        broadcast television industry agreed in 1992 to adopt a 
        set of voluntary guidelines designed to ``proscribe 
        gratuitous or excessive portrayals of violence''. 
        Shortly thereafter, both the broadcast and cable 
        television industries agreed to conduct independent 
        studies of the violent content in their programming and 
        make those reports public.
          (15) In 1996, the television industry as a whole made 
        a commitment to develop a comprehensive rating system 
        to label programming that may be harmful or 
        inappropriate for children. That system was implemented 
        at the beginning of 1999.
          (16) Despite these efforts to respond to public 
        concern about the impact of television on children, 
        millions of Americans, especially parents with young 
        children, remain angry and frustrated at the sinking 
        standards of television programming, the reluctance of 
        the industry to police itself, and the harmful 
        influence of television on the well-being of the 
        children and the values of the United States.
          (17) The Department of Justice issued a ruling in 
        1993 indicating that additional efforts by the 
        television industry to develop and implement voluntary 
        programming guidelines would not violate the antitrust 
        laws. The ruling states that ``such activities may be 
        likened to traditional standard setting efforts that do 
        not necessarily restrain competition and may have 
        significant procompetitive benefits . . . Such 
        guidelines could serve to disseminate valuable 
        information on program content to both advertisers and 
        television viewers. Accurate information can enhance 
        the demand for, and increase the output of, an 
        industry's products or services.''.
          (18) The Children's Television Act of 1990 (Public 
        Law 101-437) states that television broadcasters in the 
        United States have a clear obligation to meet the 
        educational and informational needs of children.
          (19) Several independent analyses have demonstrated 
        that the television broadcasters in the United States 
        have not fulfilled their obligations under the 
        Children's Television Act of 1990 and have not 
        noticeably expanded the amount of educational and 
        informational programming directed at young viewers 
        since the enactment of that Act.
          (20) The popularity of video and personal computer 
        (PC) games is growing steadily among children. Although 
        most popular video and personal computer games are 
        educational or harmless in nature, some are extremely 
        violent. One recent study by Strategic Record Research 
        found that 64 percent of teenagers played video or 
        personal computer games on a regular basis.
          (21) Game players of violent games may be cast in the 
        role of shooter, with points scored for each ``kill''. 
        Similarly, advertising for such games often touts 
        violent content as a selling point--the more graphic 
        and extreme, the better.
          (22) Due to their increasing popularity and graphic 
        quality, video games may increasingly influence 
        impressionable children.
          (23) Music is another extremely pervasive and popular 
        form of entertainment. American children and teenagers 
        listen to music more than any other demographic group. 
        The Journal of American Medicine reported that between 
        the 7th and 12th grades the average teenager listens to 
        10,500 hours of rock or rap music, just slightly less 
        than the entire number of hours spent in the classroom 
        from kindergarten through high school.
          (24) Teens are among the heaviest purchasers of 
        music, and are most likely to favor music genres that 
        depict, and often appear to glamorize violence.
          (25) Music has a powerful ability to influence 
        perceptions, attitudes, and emotional state. The use of 
        music as therapy indicates its potential to increase 
        emotional, psychological, and physical health. That 
        influence can be used for ill as well.
  (b) Purposes; construction.--
          (1) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to 
        permit the entertainment industry--
                  (A) to work collaboratively to respond to 
                growing public concern about television 
                programming, movies, video games, Internet 
                content, and music lyrics, and the harmful 
                influence of such programming, movies, games, 
                content, and lyrics on children;
                  (B) to develop a set of voluntary programming 
                guidelines similar to those contained in the 
                Television Code of the National Association of 
                Broadcasters; and
                  (C) to implement the guidelines in a manner 
                that alleviates the negative impact of 
                television programming, movies, video games, 
                Internet content, and music lyrics on the 
                development of children in the United States 
                and stimulates the development and broadcast of 
                educational and informational programming for 
                such children.
          (2) Construction.--This section may not be construed 
        as--
                  (A) providing the Federal Government with any 
                authority to restrict television programming, 
                movies, video games, Internet content, or music 
                lyrics that is in addition to the authority to 
                restrict such programming, movies, games, 
                content, or lyrics under law as of the date of 
                the enactment of this Act; or
                  (B) approving any action of the Federal 
                Government to restrict such programming, 
                movies, games, content, or lyrics that is in 
                addition to any actions undertaken for that 
                purpose by the Federal Government under law as 
                of such date.
  (c) Exemption of Voluntary Agreements on Guidelines for 
Certain Entertainment Material From Applicability of Antitrust 
Laws.--
          (1) Exemption.--Subject to paragraph (2), the 
        antitrust laws shall not apply to any joint discussion, 
        consideration, review, action, or agreement by or among 
        persons in the entertainment industry for the purpose 
        of developing and disseminating voluntary guidelines 
        designed--
                  (A) to alleviate the negative impact of 
                telecast material, movies, video games, 
                Internet content, and music lyrics containing--
                          (i) violence, sexual content, 
                        criminal behavior; or
                          (ii) other subjects that are not 
                        appropriate for children; or
                  (B) to promote telecast material, movies, 
                video games, Internet content, or music lyrics 
                that are educational, informational, or 
                otherwise beneficial to the development of 
                children.
          (2) Limitation.--The exemption provided in paragraph 
        (1) shall not apply to any joint discussion, 
        consideration, review, action, or agreement that--

  Add at the end the following:

SEC. ____. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS WITH REGARD TO VIOLENCE AND THE 
                    ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Incidents of tragic school violence have risen 
        over the past few years.
          (2) Our children are being desensitized by the 
        increase of gun violence shown on television, movies, 
        and video games.
          (3) According to the American Medical Association, by 
        the time an average child reaches age 18, he or she has 
        witnessed more than 200,000 acts of violence on 
        television, including 16,000 murders.
          (4) Children who listen to explicit music lyrics, 
        play video ``killing'' games, or go to violent action 
        movies get further brainwashed into thinking that 
        violence is socially acceptable and without 
        consequence.
          (5) No industry does more to glorify gun violence 
        than some elements of the motion picture industry.
          (6) Children are particularly susceptible to the 
        influence of violent subject matter.
          (7) The entertainment industry uses wanton violence 
        in its advertising campaigns directed at young people.
          (8) Alternatives should be developed and considered 
        to discourage the exposure of children to violent 
        subject matter.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the entertainment industry--
          (1) has been irresponsible in the development of its 
        products and the marketing of those products to 
        America's youth;
          (2) must recognize the power and influence it has 
        over the behavior of our Nation's youth; and
          (3) must do everything in its power to stop these 
        portrayals of pointless acts of brutality by 
        immediately eliminating gratuitous violence in movies, 
        television, music, and video games.
    33. An amendment to be offered by Representative Markey of

SEC. . SURGEON GENERAL REVIEW OF EFFECT ON JUVENILES OF VIOLENCE IN 
                    MEDIA.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
          (1) the tragic killings at a high school in Colorado 
        remind us that violence in America continues to occur 
        at unacceptable levels for a civilized society;
          (2) the relationship of violent messages delivered 
        through such popular media as television, radio, film, 
        recordings, video games, advertising, the Internet, and 
        other outlets of mass culture, to self-destructive or 
        violent behavior by children or young adults towards 
        themselves, such as suicide, or to violence directed at 
        others, has been studied intensely both by segments of 
        the media industry itself and by academic institutions;
          (3) the same media used to deliver messages which 
        harm our children can also be used to deliver messages 
        which promote positive behavior;
          (4) much of this research has occurred in the 17 
        years since the last major review and report of the 
        literature was assembled by the National Institute on 
        Mental Health published in 1982;
          (5) the Surgeon General of the United States last 
        issued a comprehensive report on violence and the media 
        in 1972; and
          (6) the number, pervasiveness, and sophistication of 
        technological avenues for delivering messages through 
        the media to young people has expanded rapidly since 
        these 2 reports.
  (b) Comprehensive Review Required.--The Surgeon General, in 
cooperation with the National Institute of Mental Health, and 
such other sources of expertise as the Surgeon General deems 
appropriate, shall undertake a comprehensive review of 
published research, analysis, studies, and other sources of 
reliable information concerning the impact on the health and 
welfare of children and young adults of violent messages 
delivered through such popular media as television, radio, 
recordings, video games, advertising, the Internet, and other 
outlets of mass culture.
  (c) Report.--The Surgeon General shall issue a report based 
on the review required by subsection (b). Such report shall 
include, but not be limited to, findings and recommendations 
concerning what can be done to mitigate any harmful affects on 
children and young adults from the violent messages described 
in such subsection, and the identification of gaps in the 
research that should be filled.
  (d) Deadlines.--The review required by subsection (b) shall 
be completed in no more than 1 year, and the report required by 
subsection (c) shall be issued no later than 6 months following 
completion of the review.

SEC. 201. 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.''.

                TITLE ____--TEACHER LIABILITY PROTECTION

SEC. ____01. SHORT TITLE.

  This title may be cited as the ``Teacher Liability Protection 
Act of 1999''.

SEC. ____02. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The ability of teachers, principals and other 
        school professionals to teach, inspire and shape the 
        intellect of our Nation's elementary and secondary 
        school students is deterred and hindered by frivolous 
        lawsuits and litigation.
          (2) Each year more and more teachers, principals and 
        other school professionals face lawsuits for actions 
        undertaken as part of their duties to provide millions 
        of school children quality educational opportunities.
          (3) Too many teachers, principals and other school 
        professionals face increasingly severe and random acts 
        of violence in the classroom and in schools.
          (4) Providing teachers, principals and other school 
        professionals a safe and secure environment is an 
        important part of the effort to improve and expand 
        educational opportunities.
          (5) Clarifying and limiting the liability of 
        teachers, principals and other school professionals who 
        undertake reasonable actions to maintain order, 
        discipline and an appropriate educational environment 
        is an appropriate subject of Federal legislation 
        because--
                  (A) the scope of the problems created by the 
                legitimate fears of teachers, principals and 
                other school professionals about frivolous, 
                arbitrary or capricious lawsuits against 
                teachers is of national importance; and
                  (B) millions of children and their families 
                across the Nation depend on teachers, 
                principals and other school professionals for 
                the intellectual development of children.
  (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to provide 
teachers, principals and other school professionals the tools 
they need to undertake reasonable actions to maintain order, 
discipline and an appropriate educational environment.

SEC. ____03. PREEMPTION AND ELECTION OF STATE NONAPPLICABILITY.

  (a) Preemption.--This title preempts the laws of any State to 
the extent that such laws are inconsistent with this title, 
except that this title shall not preempt any State law that 
provides additional protection from liability relating to 
teachers.
  (b) Election of State Regarding Nonapplicability.--This title 
shall not apply to any civil action in a State court against a 
teacher in which all parties are citizens of the State if such 
State enacts a statute in accordance with State requirements 
for enacting legislation--
          (1) citing the authority of this subsection;
          (2) declaring the election of such State that this 
        title shall not apply, as of a date certain, to such 
        civil action in the State; and
          (3) containing no other provisions.

SEC. ____04. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR TEACHERS.

  (a) Liability Protection for Teachers.--Except as provided in 
subsections (b) and (c), no teacher in a school shall be liable 
for harm caused by an act or omission of the teacher on behalf 
of the school if--
          (1) the teacher was acting within the scope of the 
        teacher's employment or responsibilities related to 
        providing educational services;
          (2) the actions of the teacher were carried out in 
        conformity with local, state, or federal laws, rules or 
        regulations in furtherance of efforts to control, 
        discipline, expel, or suspend a student or maintain 
        order or control in the classroom or school;
          (3) if appropriate or required, the teacher was 
        properly licensed, certified, or authorized by the 
        appropriate authorities for the activities or practice 
        in the State in which the harm occurred, where the 
        activities were or practice was undertaken within the 
        scope of the teacher's responsibilities;
          (4) the harm was not caused by willful or criminal 
        misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or a 
        conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or 
        safety of the individual harmed by the teacher; and
          (5) the harm was not caused by the teacher operating 
        a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for 
        which the State requires the operator or the owner of 
        the vehicle, craft, or vessel to--
                  (A) possess an operator's license; or
                  (B) maintain insurance.
  (b) Concerning Responsibility of Teachers to Schools and 
Governmental Entities.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to affect any civil action brought by any school or 
any governmental entity against any teacher of such school.
  (c) Exceptions to Teacher Liability Protection.--If the laws 
of a State limit teacher liability subject to one or more of 
the following conditions, such conditions shall not be 
construed as inconsistent with this section:
          (1) A State law that requires a school or 
        governmental entity to adhere to risk management 
        procedures, including mandatory training of teachers.
          (2) A State law that makes the school or governmental 
        entity liable for the acts or omissions of its teachers 
        to the same extent as an employer is liable for the 
        acts or omissions of its employees.
          (3) A State law that makes a limitation of liability 
        inapplicable if the civil action was brought by an 
        officer of a State or local government pursuant to 
        State or local law.
  (d) Limitation on Punitive Damages Based on the Actions of 
Teachers.--
          (1) General rule.--Punitive damages may not be 
        awarded against a teacher in an action brought for harm 
        based on the action of a teacher acting within the 
        scope of the teacher's responsibilities to a school or 
        governmental entity unless the claimant establishes by 
        clear and convincing evidence that the harm was 
        proximately caused by an action of such teacher which 
        constitutes willful or criminal misconduct, or a 
        conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or 
        safety of the individual harmed.
          (2) Construction.--Paragraph (1) does not create a 
        cause of action for punitive damages and does not 
        preempt or supersede any Federal or State law to the 
        extent that such law would further limit the award of 
        punitive damages.
  (e) Exceptions to Limitations on Liability.--
          (1) In general.--The limitations on the liability of 
        a teacher under this title shall not apply to any 
        misconduct that--

                term is defined in section 16 of title 18, 
                United States Code) or act of international 
                terrorism (as that term is defined in section 
                2331 of title 18, United States Code) for which 
                the defendant has been convicted in any court;

                Federal or State civil rights law; or
                  (D) where the defendant was under the 
                influence (as determined pursuant to applicable 
                State law) of intoxicating alcohol or any drug 
                at the time of the misconduct.
          (2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection

                              Act of 1974

SEC. 201. 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.''.
