SPECIFIC DATA ARE SUPPLIED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE 50 STATE GOVERNMENTS, AND THE AGGREGATE OF THE LOCAL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN EACH STATE. IN ADDITION, ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN PRODUCED FOR EACH STATE OF THE PERCENTUM OF THE STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPENDITURE FUNDED AND EXPENDED BY UNITS OF GENERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
