Abstract: IT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO GENERAL AREAS OF INVESTIGATION CORRESPONDING TO THE AREAS FROM WHICH THE DATA WERE COMPILED. THE FIRST PART COVERS THE NET EXPENDITURE ON POLICE, GOALS AND REFORMATORIES AND ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.

ANALYSES WERE CARRIED OUT FOR THE YEARS 1963-64 TO 1973-74. THIS PART OF THE STUDY ASSUMES THAT EXPENDITURE ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IS MORE OR LESS ANALOGOUS TO THE LAW, ORDER AND PUBLIC SAFETY EXPENDITURE CLASSIFICATIONS USED BY THE AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF STATISTICS AND OUTLINED IN APPENDIX A. THE FURTHER BREAKDOWN OF THIS CLASSIFICATION INTO POLICE, GOALS AND REFORMATORIES AND ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IS EXAMINED IN DEPTH. THE SUB-CLASSIFICATION OF PUBLIC SAFETY EXPENDITURE WAS NOT CONSIDERED. THE SECOND PART OF THE STUDY COMPARES EXPENDITURE ON LAW, ORDER AND PUBLIC SAFETY WITH EXPENDITURE ON EDUCATION AND HEALTH. THE STATISTICS ARE COMPILED FROM AN AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF STATISTICS PUBLICATION 4 BASED ON THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ACCOUNTS. ANALYSES WERE CARRIED OUT FOR THE YEARS 1963-64 TO 1973-74.
