RESPONDING TO THE GROWING PROBLEM OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, CONGRESS ENACTED THE JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT OF 1974. THIS ACT CREATED, FOR THE FIRST TIME, A UNIFIED NATIONAL PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PREVENTION AND CONTROL. THE ACT SET IN MOTION A MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE ADMINISTRATION (LEAA). THE JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT CREATED WITHIN LEAA THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION, AND WITHIN THAT OFFICE, A RESEARCH, EVALUATION, AND INFORMATION ARM CALLED THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION. THE ACT ALSO REQUIRED THAT THIS OFFICE PREPARE A DETAILED STATEMENT OF CRITERIA DEVELOPED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR FOR IDENTIFYING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PREVENTION, DIVERSION OF YOUTHS FROM THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND THE TRAINING, TREATMENT, AND REHABILITATION OF JUVENILE DELINQUENTS. IN RESPONSE TO THIS MANDATE, THE FIRST ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF FEDERAL JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PROGRAMS WAS PUBLISHED. THE FIRST VOLUME OF THIS REPORT (NCJ-32758) CONTAINS A DESCRIPTION OF THE CREATION AND ACTIVITIES OF THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE FEDERAL ROLE IN DELINQUENCY PREVENTION.
