Criminal-justice-systems obligations at $616.0M
USAspending.gov records $615,953,807.04 in obligations under CFDA 19.703. Seven hundred sixty-four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $806,222 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical justice-sector invoice and not a cost per case.
The assistance-listing title is CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS. CFDA 19.703 is the identifier. Other State Department or Justice listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $616.0M. Combining those codes would invent a combined justice-assistance total this packet does not contain.
107 recipients, 764 awards, and 0 states
One hundred seven recipients share 764 awards, or about 7.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $615,953,807.04 evenly would assign about $5.76 million per recipient. That density is a multi-row cooperative pattern: a moderate organizational headcount carrying many assistance rows. The packet does not list the 107. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of courts or police agencies.
The geographic count is 0. That is not a claim that Criminal Justice Systems awards had no place of performance; it is a blank in the USAspending state field on this extract. Overseas or otherwise uncoded awards often sit outside the 50-state map. Do not invent a state roster. Quote the 0 as the indexed field, then read award count and dollars.
A blank state field is not a case census
Among international-affairs listings, 19.703 is a high-row file: 764 awards against 107 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of justice programs” and a worse proxy for cases processed. Recipients (107) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (764) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report courts, prosecutors, or convictions. Citing 764 as cases would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients — and a blank state field.
Obligations versus justice-systems outlays
The $616.0M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Criminal Justice Systems awards — are not in the packet. A cooperative file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.
Use CFDA 19.703 to size this Criminal Justice Systems listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Byrne JAG, COPS, or domestic DOJ dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 19.703.
What the 19.703 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a court docket, not a police directory, and not a country-by-country justice log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $615,953,807.04. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 764 award rows.
The 0-state geographic count is a coding field, not a finding that work had no location. Read the program page before treating the blank as a 50-state equal share. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to cooperators.
Criminal Justice Systems’ blank state field and 107-recipient headcount together describe an overseas or uncoded assistance book, not a Byrne JAG formula. A researcher comparing 19.703 with COPS or domestic DOJ codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $616.0M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.
