Crime Control: The Federal Response

Under the federal system in the United States, the states and localities traditionally have held the major responsibility for prevention and control of crime and maintenance of order. For most of the Republic’s history, “police powers” in the broad sense were reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. Many still hold that view, but others see a string of court decisions in recent decades as providing the basis for a far more active federal role. Several bills are discussed in this report that address issues related to crime, juvenile justice, and school violence.

Legislation that failed to pass in the 106th Congress may be considered in the 107th. In
particular, Congress may reconsider the juvenile justice bill that stalled in conference in
1999.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Federal v. State Responsibility for Law Enforcement
Under the federal system in the United States, the states and localities traditionally have
held the major responsibility for prevention and control of crime and maintenance of order.
For most of the Republic’s history, “police powers” in the broad sense were reserved to the
states under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. Many still hold that view, but others
see a string of court decisions in recent decades as providing the basis for a far more active
federal role.
Perhaps the most significant factor behind the growth of federal police powers has been
a broader interpretation of the Constitution’s “commerce clause” (U.S. Constitution, Art. I,
Section 8, Cl. 2), which explicitly gives Congress power to regulate interstate and foreign
commerce. A series of court decisions in this century has established that the impact of
intrastate commerce on interstate commerce may justify a more inclusive approach. In
addition, both Congress and the Court have shown an apparent willingness to view certain
kinds of crime, or disorder on a large scale, as threats to commerce in and of themselves. The
Supreme Court has established some limits on the power of Congress to regulate certain
activity through the commerce clause of the Constitution. In U.S. v. Lopez (514 U.S. 549,
1995) the court, striking down a provision of the Gun Free Schools Act of 1990, held that
the possession of a gun in a local school zone is not an economic activity that might have a
substantial effect on interstate commerce.
Since the 1960s, the law and order issues that most often have generated debate over
the appropriate limits of the federal role are financial assistance for state and local law
enforcement and regulation of firearms. (For a discussion of firearm regulation, see CRS
Issue Brief IB10071, Gun Control Legislation in the 107th Congress.) In considering
legislation that established the grant program administered by the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration (P.L. 90-351) and its forerunner, the Office of Enforcement
Assistance (P.L. 89-197), some Members of Congress and analysts expressed concern that
the federal “power of the purse” would lead to a national police force.
The lack of significant opposition to local law enforcement assistance provisions in 1986
and 1988 anti-drug measures and the 1990 Crime Control Act suggests that such concern has
diminished. This change in attitude might be explained by a widespread perception that the
illicit traffic in dangerous drugs has become a national problem of overriding concern.
One indication of growth in federal involvement in crime control is the upward trend in
annual budget authority under the budget category (750), “administration of justice.” Since
CRS-1

1976, it has risen from $3.3 billion to an estimated $27.4 billion in FY2000. (See Table 5.1,
at the website [http://w3.access.gpo.gov/usbudget/fy2001/pdf/hist.pdf]). Congress
appropriated approximately $21 billion for Department of Justice (DOJ) agencies and
programs for FY2001. (For the latest information on FY2001 DOJ appropriations, see CRS
Report RL30509, Appropriations for FY2001: Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary,
and Related Agencies
.)
Federal Assistance to State and Local Governments
During the 1960s the FBI Uniform Crime Reports showed that crime rates in the United
States were increasing rapidly, and “law and order” and “crime in the streets” were key issues
in the 1964 Presidential campaign. President Lyndon Johnson, in his first message to
Congress in 1965, called for the establishment of a blue ribbon panel to probe “fully and
deeply into the problems of crime in our nation.” Johnson’s requests led to the creation of
the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice and to
passage of the Law Enforcement Assistance Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-197; 79 Stat. 828). The
latter established an Office of Law Enforcement Assistance in the Department of Justice and
charged it with funding demonstration projects for the development of new methods of crime
control and law enforcement.
In February 1967, the President’s Commission issued its report, The Challenge of Crime
in a Free Society, and recommended that the federal government provide more financial
assistance to state and local governments for law enforcement purposes. The Commission
found that “crime is a national, as well as a state and local phenomenon.” Subsequently,
President Johnson proposed an expanded program of grants to state and local governments,
to be administered by the Department of Justice. In urging the passage of such legislation,
he warned that “the federal government must never assume the role of the nation’s policeman.
True, the federal government has certain direct law enforcement responsibilities. But these
are carefully limited to such matters as treason, espionage, counterfeiting, tax evasion and
certain interstate crimes.”
Congress responded in June of 1968 by passing the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe
Streets Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-351; 82 Stat. 197). Title I of the Act established a Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) to make grants to state and local
governments for planning, recruitment, and training of law enforcement personnel; public
education relating to crime prevention; building construction; education and training of special
law enforcement units to combat organized crime; and the organization, education, and
training of regular law enforcement officers, special units, and law enforcement reserve units
for the prevention and detection of riots and other civil disorders. The Act also established
a National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice to make grants for training,
education, research, and demonstration for the purpose of improving law enforcement and
developing new methods for the prevention and reduction of crime.
The enactment of the Safe Streets Act and the creation of LEAA ushered in a new era
of federal assistance to state and local governments for crime control. The grant programs
significantly expanded the central government’s involvement in local law enforcement.
Although the program was criticized and ultimately phased out after a 12-year life and an
expenditure of roughly $7.5 billion, support for the concept of direct federal aid for law
CRS-2

enforcement and crime control resurfaced and grew during the 1980s as Congress sought
solutions to the nation’s drug problems.
LEAA’s history is controversial. The block grant funding mechanism was criticized
because it prevented the agency from exercising tight controls over the money sent to the
states. Critics charged that funds were misused and that the program had no visible impact
on crime. With the exception of one downturn in crime statistics in 1972, the reported violent
crime rate continued to rise throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Although the program had
been authorized through FY1983, budget reductions beginning in 1980 resulted in its virtual
elimination. Four of its highly specialized functions remained to be administered by a
successor agency, the Office of Justice Assistance, Research, and Statistics (OJARS).
Broader federal assistance was restored when the Reagan Administration requested
authority, in 1983, to establish a more modest grant program. Additional expansion of the
federal role occurred with congressional passage of four omnibus crime control bills. First
was Chapter IV (the Justice Assistance Act) of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of
1984 (P.L. 98-473). It created the Office of Justice Programs, headed by an assistant
Attorney General, to coordinate the activities of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the
National Institute of Justice, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and the Office of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-570) established
matching formula grants to state and local law enforcement agencies; the Anti-Drug Abuse
Act of 1988 expanded the program, the “Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law
Enforcement Assistance Programs.” Despite Reagan Administration opposition to such
expansion, Congress appropriated $150 million for FY1989 for the programs. The Crime
Control Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-647), authorized $900 million. Congress approved an
appropriation of $552 million for the Byrne Programs for FY1999.
Major Enactments
Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984
In 1966, Congress created the National Commission on Reform of the Criminal Laws.
Headed by California Governor Edmund G. Brown, Sr., the Commission issued a report that
took the form of a new draft of the Federal Criminal Code. The Comprehensive Crime
Control Act of 1984 was the culmination of a bipartisan effort to implement this report. The
bill finally approved was somewhat limited, a compromise that overhauled the federal
sentencing system, revised the bail statutes to permit pretrial detention of those considered
dangerous to the community, tightened the legal definition of insanity, required mandatory
minimum sentences for career criminals, increased the maximum fines for serious drug
offenses, gave federal prosecutors new authority to seize the assets of drug traffickers, and
established a victim compensation program in the Department of Justice. Controversial
provisions related to the death penalty, federal exclusionary rule modification, and habeas
corpus
revision ultimately were dropped. Similar proposals have been reintroduced several
times but continue to be a source of contention.

Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-570) was a far-ranging measure containing
15 titles and relating to almost every aspect of federal efforts to prevent and control the abuse
of drugs. It stiffened penalties for violations of the Controlled Substances Act (P.L. 91-513),
providing for mandatory minimum sentences in certain cases. It also contained provisions
aimed at money laundering and expanded authority for seizure and forfeiture of assets derived
from criminal activities. Other provisions related to international narcotics control and
demand reduction efforts. It authorized $230 million annually for 3 years for state and local
drug enforcement assistance. Overall, it raised existing authorization ceilings by $1.7 billion;
final FY1987 appropriations for drug control were over $4 billion.
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-690) was signed into law on November 18,
1988. This legislation built on the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and, like its predecessor,
contained provisions relating to virtually every facet of the federal effort to curb the abuse of
narcotics and other dangerous drugs. The 10 main titles concerned (1) new and increased
penalties for drug trafficking offenses (including the death penalty for killings committed by
drug “kingpins” and for the drug-related killing of a law enforcement officer), and general
increases in funding for drug law enforcement; (2) the organization and coordination of
federal anti-drug efforts, including the creation of a new agency headed by a cabinet-level
director (a so-called “drug czar”), subject to Senate confirmation; (3) the reduction of drug
demand through increased treatment and prevention efforts; (4) the reduction of drug
production abroad and of international trafficking in illicit drugs; and (5) sanctions designed
to put added pressure on drug users (“user accountability”). The Act raised FY1989
authorization ceilings by $2.7 billion; actual appropriations brought the total federal anti-drug
budget for FY1989 to approximately $6.5 billion.
Crime Control Act of 1990
The Crime Control Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-647) was an omnibus measure that, like some
previous anti-crime proposals, was stripped of several of its more controversial provisions
such as those pertaining to the federal death penalty, habeas corpus revision, federal
exclusionary rule application, and firearms control. The legislation authorized $220 million
in federal matching grants to assist states in establishing more effective prison programs,
including alternatives to traditional incarceration. It established a grant program to develop
and implement multidisciplinary child abuse investigation and prosecution programs and
permitted alternatives to live-in-court testimony in a proceeding involving an alleged offense
against a minor. The measure contained child pornography provisions requiring more
stringent recordkeeping and enhanced penalties. It codified a Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights
in the federal justice system, and increased the funding level for victim compensation and
assistance. Other provisions authorized a $20 million rural drug initiative, expanded the
Public Safety Officers’ Death Benefits program to include a one-time benefit for officers
permanently disabled in the line of duty, authorized the hiring of additional FBI and Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, added 12 new chemicals to the list of precursor
chemicals regulated under the Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act, created a National

Commission To Support Law Enforcement, and raised the authorization for the federal drug
enforcement grant program to $900 million.
Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1994
The Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (P.L. 103-322) authorized $30.2
billion for law enforcement and crime prevention measures. It increased to 60 the number of
federal crimes punishable by death and established procedures whereby the death penalty may
be carried out. It contained a “three strikes” provision requiring the imposition of a sentence
of life imprisonment for violent three-time federal offenders. The Act authorized a total of
$8.8 billion, from FY1995-2000, to states and localities for the expansion of law enforcement
resources. It authorized a total of $1 billion for the Byrne program for FY1995-2000. In
addition, it authorized, through new grant authorities, funds for additional correctional
facilities, the expansion of alternative sanctions for non-violent young offenders, and the costs
incurred by states incarcerating criminal aliens. The measure authorized $5.35 billion for
crime prevention and violence against women programs. It prohibited the manufacture, for
10 years after enactment, of semiautomatic assault weapons and the possession or transfer
of such firearms if they were not lawfully possessed on the date of enactment. It also
authorized $150 million to implement the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention and the
National Child Protection Acts. It included murder by international terrorists among the
federal crimes punishable by death and increased the penalties for other terrorist crimes. It
increased the penalties for repeat federal sex offenders and assaults against children within
federal enclaves, and created a program for the registration of sexual predators with
community notice. It also permitted the prosecution as adults of juvenile offenders 13 years
of age and older who commit federal crimes of violence or federal crimes involving a firearm.
The Act established the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund, subject to annual appropriation
and financed by savings from reductions in the federal work force or in discretionary
spending, to funds its programs.
Legislative Action: 106th Congress
The 106th Congress approved several crime-related bills that were enacted into law. The
measure (P.L. 106-386) containing Aimee's Law and the reauthorization of the Violence
Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed into law on October 28, 2000. (For more
information on VAWA, see CRS Report RS20195, Violence Against Women,
Reauthorization, Federal Funding and Recent Developments
.) Two other measures that
received congressional approval provided grants to assist States with combating computer
crimes, signed into law (P. L. 106-572) on December 28, 2000, and with DNA analyses,
signed into law (P. L. 106-546) on December 19, 2000.
Authorizations for most of the 1994 Crime Act programs, as well as the trust fund
established to fund them, expired at the end of September 2000. The 106th Congress
considered, but did not approve, several measures that would have extended specific
programs within the Act or the trust fund. The House passed the Local Government Law
Enforcement Block Grants Act of 2000, amended (H.R. 4999), on September 19, 2000.
Similar to the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) program established under the
FY1996 Department of Justice appropriations act (P.L. 104-134), the new grant program
CRS-5

IB90078
01-24-01
would have continued the current requirement under the LLEBG program that the federal
share of grants awarded under the program may not exceed 90% of the cost, but, unlike the
LLEBG program, would have included a waiver exception in cases of financial hardship.
Also, the program would have received a total authorization of $10 billion, $2 billion each
year, FY2001-FY2005.
Another measure, S. 1760, would have modified Title I provisions under the 1994 Crime
Act establishing the community policing program (COPS). Also, the measure would have
reauthorized the program from FY2000 through FY2005. Though the COPS program was
not reauthorized, it received over $1 billion in appropriations in FY2001. (For more
information on COPS, see CRS Report 97-196, The Community Oriented Policing Services
Program: An Overview
.)
Another bill, S. 2787, contained a provision to reauthorize the Violent Crime Reduction
Trust Fund (VCRTF) from FY2001 through FY2005, but the language was dropped during
conference. (See the conference report for the Sexual Trafficking Victims Protection Act
P.L. 106-386, signed into law on October 28, 2000. For a discussion of the Crime Trust
Fund, see CRS Report RL30471, Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund: An Overview.)
Several bills designed to combat violence in schools and control crime by juveniles were
introduced once again in the 106th Congress. In particular, Congress considered legislation
that would have reauthorized the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974,
amended. Two bills, (S. 254 and H.R. 1150), were introduced to reauthorize the Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-415), as amended, that expired on
September 30, 1996. The Senate passed an amended version of S. 254 on May 20, 1999, and,
after striking existing language, inserted the language of S. 254 into H.R. 1501. On June 17,
1999, the House passed, amended, H.R. 1501, a measure reauthorizing the Juvenile
Accountability Block Grants. H.R. 1150 was approved as an amendment to H.R. 1501. The
measure failed in conference. (For additional information, see CRS Report RL30741,
Juvenile Justice Legislation: Overview and Legislative Debate.)
The 106th Congress also considered several hate crimes provisions. On June 20, 2000,
the Senate approved two hate crimes amendments, No. 3473/Kennedy-Smith and No.
3474/Hatch, to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (S.
2549/Warner). Under existing law, certain offenses against victims based on such categories
as race, color, religion, or national origin are covered by civil rights legislation (18 U.S.C.
245), and the perpetrator tried to prevent the victim from engaging in a “federally protected”
activities, such as voting, attending school, serving on a jury, or traveling for purposes of
interstate commerce. The Kennedy-Smith amendment, entitled the Local Law Enforcement
Enhancement Act of 2000, would have expanded federal authority to prosecute hate crimes
in the categories of sexual orientation, gender or disability, and remove limits on federal
prosecution for hate crimes that are not committed under “federally protected" activities. The
Hatch amendment would have mandated a study of hate crimes to determine whether such
legislation is needed, but would not have expanded existing categories under current law.
Shortly after S. 2549 was introduced on May 12, 2000, the House passed, amended, on
May 18, the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (H.R.
4205/Spence), the companion bill to S. 2549. On July 13, 2000, the Senate struck all
language after the enacting clause in H.R. 4205, and substituted the language of S. 2549,
CRS-6

amended. Both hate crimes amendments were dropped from the conference report (H.Rept.
