Expenditure and employment data from other BJS sources
Presents nNational and state-by-state estimates of government expenditures and employment for police protection, all judicial (including prosecution, courts, and public defense) and corrections categories.

Justice Assistance Data Survey (formerly Justice Expenditure and Employment Survey)
The JADS collect detailed data for three justice functions (police protection, judicial and legal, and corrections) and for three character and object classes (current operations, capital outlay, and intergovernmental expenditure).

Justice Expenditure and Employment Extracts Series
Since 1980, these 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-by-state estimates of government expenditures and employment for the following justice categories: police protection, all judicial (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). The unit of analysis in the CJEE is the government. For example, the corrections employment reported for any particular state represents the total of all correctional personnel employed by that state regardless of which prison, probation office, or other corrections agency employ them.
