Department of Justice federal obligations in Delaware

Justice awards tagged to Delaware

Department of Justice as awarding agency, Delaware as place-of-performance: 251 records summing to $93,341,795.44. A Department of Justice award coded outside DE is out. An award in Delaware from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Philadelphia-coded award is PA even if a filing sits in Wilmington. Awarding agency 015 does not publish a COPS-versus-OJP split on this packet.

Two hundred fifty-one records against $93,341,795.44 is a mid-thin Justice file, a bit thicker than Vermont’s 171-row cell and still not a docket census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 251 as 251 unique prosecutions, named cases, or unique grantees. The overlay Department of Justice in Delaware is the both-keys table. Delaware federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without a DE filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Wilmington and Dover are unpublished. Do not treat 251 as unique Delaware cases or as a corporate-charter ranking. Correlation is not causation: Delaware did not cause $93,341,795.44 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × DE only.

Not a corporate-charter case census

$93,341,795.44 does not measure unique prosecutions, named cases, or unique grantees. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and a DE place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 015 does not publish a COPS-versus-OJP split on this packet.

Do not treat 251 awards as a census of unique prosecutions, named cases, or unique grantees. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Delaware federal spending or Department of Justice matched $93,341,795.44 and 251, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Justice joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not add Pennsylvania Justice dollars because a case caption mentions Delaware.

Delaware statewide, not a Wilmington-only map

Place of performance DE is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Philadelphia-coded award is PA even if a filing sits in Wilmington. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Wilmington, Dover, Newark, and the rest of the counties share one DE stamp.

Wilmington and Dover are unpublished. Do not treat 251 as unique Delaware cases or as a corporate-charter ranking. This packet does not split $93,341,795.44 by city, county, or named facility. 251 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Mid-thin files still mean commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $93,341,795.44 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Delaware confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Delaware’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 251-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $93,341,795.44. Do not add Pennsylvania Justice dollars because a case caption mentions Delaware.

Citing Justice in Delaware

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $93,341,795.44 on 251 awards coded to Delaware. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique prosecutions, named cases, or unique grantees. The pair is Justice plus Delaware, not a statewide court ledger.

Prefer Department of Justice in Delaware if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Delaware federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to DE. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the DE filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $93,341,795.44. A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Delaware, $93,341,795.44, and 251. The compact headline $93.3 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $371,880 is $93,341,795.44 divided by 251. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
