Description
This direct survey of governments collects detailed justice expenditure data. These data are the basis for calculating variable pass-through estimates needed to distribute the formula funds of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG) Program administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Less detailed annual expenditure and employment data are available in the Justice Expenditure and Employment Extracts series, which produces similar but not statistically comparable data. Comparability issues are described in appendix 2 of the 1992 Justice Expenditure and Employment Extracts report and in a text file provided with the zip archive for the 1993-99 and trends spreadsheets. Prior to 1997, this survey was called the Justice Expenditure and Employment Survey. It collected detailed employment data in addition to expenditure data.
