Specific data relating to public expenditure and employment for the criminal justice system in the United States are presented in tabular form in this annual survey report. Comprehensive data are supplied in 29 tables for the Federal Government, each of the 50 state governments, city, county, and other local subdivisions of government. Data are shown for the 15 largest standard metropolitan statistical areas. Developed from state estimates of expenditure and employment and a stratified random sample of 6,226 local governments, the report used responses to a special mail canvass questionnaire and field compilation. Major categories of activity covered in the tables are: (1) Police Protection, (2) Judicial, (3) Prosecution, (4) Indigent Defense, and (5) Correctional. Local governments continue to spend more than the Federal and state governments combined for all criminal justice activities. (AG)
