According to federal statistics, (Perry, 2006), the total justice expenditures for the state of Alaska in 2006 was $605,332. There was $178,152 (29.4%) spent on Judicial and Legal expenditures, making it the least costly expense. Corrections totaled spending was at $212,043 (35%), but police protection expenditures spent the highest dollar amount with a total of $215,137 (35.5%). (The dollar amounts are reported in thousands.) I believe that the police protection had more money spent than the other departments because they want to keep their state safe and protected, regardelss of the money that is spent. Alaska provides public safety to the state through their law enforcement and the Alaska law enforcement is broken up into two divisions which are the alaska state troopers and the alaska division of fish and wildlife protection. Both divisions provide safety for the people as well as their environment. Which makes up much of their economy.
