Attorney General to provide Congress with an independent review of the effectiveness of State and local crime prevention assistance programs funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, “with special emphasis on factors that relate to juvenile crime and the effect of these programs on youth violence.” The law required that the review “employ rigorous and scientifically recognized standards and methodologies.” Framers of the law expected that the evaluation would measure:“(a) reductions in delinquency, juvenile crime, youth gang activity, youth sub-stance abuse, and other high-risk factors;(b) reductions in the risk factors in the community, schools, and family environments that contribute to juvenile violence; and (c) increases in the protective factors that reduce the likelihood of delinquency and criminal behavior.”1
