BJS Expenditure and Employment Data Collections
Justice Expenditure and Employment Extract Series. Since 1980, these justice expenditure and employment data have been extracted from the Census Bureau's Annual Government Finance Survey and Annual Survey of Public Employment. This series includes national and state estimates of government expenditures and employment for the following categories: police protection, judicial services (including prosecution, courts, and public defense), and corrections. Federal data for the same categories are also included, as are data for the largest local governments (counties with populations of 500,000 or more and cities with populations of 300,000 or more). Government is the unit of analysis in the Criminal Justice Employment and Expenditure Survey (CJEE). For example, corrections employment reported for a particular state represents the total number of correctional employees employed by that state regardless of agency or location—prison, probation office, or other corrections agency.
