Of every dollar that governments spent in the 1996/97 fiscal year, approximately 3 cents was spent on policing, courts and correctional services. This is similar to what was spent in four other sectors: resource conservation and industrial development, national defence, recreation and culture, and the environment. The largest portion of the government dollar was spent on social services (31 cents), followed by debt charges (15 cents), education (14 cents) and health (14 cents). Spending on six sectors of the justice system – policing, courts, legal aid, criminal prosecutions, adult corrections and youth corrections – totalled almost $10 billion in 1996/97.
