BY THE U.S GENERAL ACCOUNTING


Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee

On Human Resources, Committee On

Education And Labor

House Of Representatives


Better Monitoring And Recordkeeping

Needed To Accurately Account For

Juvenile Justice Practices


The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of
1974, as amended, authorizes the Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention to provide federal re-
sources, leadership, and assistance to state and local gov-
ernments and private organizations in conducting juvenile
justice and juvenile delinquency programs This report
consists of testimony discussing state monitoring efforts
and progress made under 10 of the act's objectives

GAO found that the Office does not ensure that states
verify the accuracy of data in their monitoring reports
which each state must submit to demonstrate its progress
under the act Therefore, the Office cannot be assured it
has reliable data to properly gauge the progress being
made This report contains examples of inaccurate or
incomplete data upon which monitoring reports are based
Under 10 of the act's objectives GAO evaluated, GAO
found indications that some progress had been achieved.
However, a definitive basis for determining the overall
extent of the progress for any individual objective could not
be made because sufficient data were not available
