Department of Justice in Kentucky

DOJ awards tagged to Kentucky

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 2,916 records summing to $872,549,775.06. A Department of Justice award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Illinois. A Cincinnati-coded DOJ award is Ohio.

Two thousand nine hundred sixteen awards against $872,549,775.06 is a mid-count DOJ file, thinner than Maryland’s 4,159 and a smaller dollar book. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,916 as 2,916 unique prosecutions, unique defendants, or prison beds. Department of Justice in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This Kentucky Justice join sits next to Kentucky RRB on similar dollars and a different awarding-agency code. Do not add 015 and 060. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not cause $872,549,775.06 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × KY only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

2,916 rows are not 2,916 cases

$872,549,775.06 does not measure prosecutions, unique defendants, or prison beds. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and a KY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 2,916 awards as a census of prosecutions, unique defendants, or prison beds. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of Justice matched $872,549,775.06 and 2,916, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and the West Virginia Justice join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.
