* "Local includes both municipal and county expenditures. Prior to 2002, detailed data for municipal and county expenditures are available in the Justice Expenditure and Employment Extracts."

"Note: Federal government figures presented for 1998 and later are directly from the Budget of the United States, using the definitions of justice functions contained in the budget. Prior to 1998 the Census Bureau performed an extensive compilation of the federal budget for the purposes of making the data fit the definitions used in the Census Bureau's surveys of government finances and public employment. Therefore, federal expenditure data prior to 1998 are not directly comparable to those reported for 1998 and later."

The Bureau of Justice Statistics chart pages where the charts were adapted from does not indicate what exactly was counted as a criminal justice expense. It is not clear whether the federal expenditures include any FBI, DEA, ONDCP, Drug War, Customs, Border Patrol, etc. expenses. Or what percentage of the costs of any of these agencies are counted. ONDCP and/or DEA, are known for spinning the interpretation of what money is spent on treatment or criminal justice.
