A SUMMARY OF DATA ON DIRECT EXPENDITURES FOR THE ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM COLLECTED BY LEAA AND THE CENSUS BUREAU IS PRESENTED.
Abstract
DIRECT EXPENDITURES INCLUDE SALARIES, WAGES, FEES, AND COMMISSIONS; PURCHASES OF SUPPLIES, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES; AND CAPITAL OUTLAYS FOR CONSTRUCTION, EQUIPMENT, AND LAND. INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERS, SUCH AS PAYMENTS BY ONE GOVERNMENT TO ANOTHER FOR BOARDING PRISONERS, ARE EXCLUDED. EXPENDITURE DATA FOR THREE CATEGORIES -- JUDICIAL, LEGAL SERVICES AND PROSECUTION, AND INDIGENT DEFENSE -- INCLUDE BOTH CRIMINAL AND CIVIL JUSTICE ACTIVITIES. THE FIRST SECTION OF THIS REPORT PRESENTS STATEWIDE EXPENDITURE DATA BY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT AND TYPE OF ACTIVITY. THE SECOND SECTION COMPARES ARIZONA'S EXPENDITURES TO THOSE OF OTHER 'HIGH CRIME' STATES. TRENDS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SPENDING ARE EXAMINED IN THE THIRD SECTION. THE FINAL SECTION PRESENTS A BREAKDOWN OF EXPENDITURES BY COUNTY. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED).
