A 2002 study by U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden. Jr. examined the effect Boys and Girls Clubs have on juvenile crime rates in 186 Clubs. representing 780 individual Clubs located in 48 states. Data was examined by comparing juvenile crime trends in neighborhoods served by Boys and Girls Clubs with control data furnished by individual police departments or FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Findings show that juvenile crime in areas around Boys and Girls Club neighborhoods since the early 1990' s decreased even though overall crime nationwide continued to " , increase. Biden's study suggests that the presence of a positive, constructive, and safe place for juveniles to go after school and on weekends plays a considerable role in combating juvenile crime activity. In December 2001, Worth magazine ranked the Boys and Girls Clubs as one of the "100 Best Charities in America" based on financial efficiency. strength of reputation and program effectiveness.
