 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
Consequences for Juvenile Offenders Act of 2001 - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to replace provisions regarding grants to develop alternative methods of punishment for young offenders with provisions authorizing the Attorney General to provide grants to promote greater accountability in the juvenile justice system, including grants to: (1) develop, implement, and administer graduated sanctions for juvenile offenders; (2) build, expand, renovate, or operate juvenile facilities; (3) provide funding to enable prosecutors to address drug, gang, and youth violence problems more effectively and for technology, equipment, and training; and (4) establish and maintain programs designed to enhance school safety.

Sets forth State and local eligibility requirements, including assurances that the State and local governmental unit have in effect (or, within one year, shall have in effect) laws, policies, and programs that provide for a system of graduated sanctions. Directs that such sanctions ensure that: (1) sanctions are imposed on a juvenile offender for each delinquent offense and escalate in intensity with each subsequent, more serious delinquent offense; (2) there is sufficient flexibility to allow for individualized sanctions and services; and (3) appropriate consideration is given to public safety and victims of crime.
