Justice Expenditure and Employment,
1990
This BJS Bulletin provides
selected data on 1990 spending and personnel levels for Federal, State,
and local governments in six sectors: police protection, judicial, legal
services and prosecution, public defense, corrections, and "other criminal
justice." Expenditure data are provided for fiscal year 1990; employment
and payroll data are for the month of October 1990. In addition, the report
compares justice expenditure to spending for other governmental services,
adjusts the data for inflation, and analyzes trends in justice spending
and employment, especially trends in corrections spending. It presents expenditure
data per capita by State and the number of employees per 10,000 population
by State. The percentage of government spending that goes for justice activities
is presented for the United States as a whole as well as by State. Two tables
present the detailed expenditure and employment data collected for the aggregate
of State and local governments for each State. Survey methodology and definitions
used are briefly discussed. The data in the report are comparable to those
published for 1971-79, 1985, and 1988. Updates are not anticipated although
similar information for later years are available from the Justice
Expenditure and Employment Extracts. 9/92 NCJ 135777
