Numbers come from OMB Historical Tables, BEA NIPA, Congressional Budget Justifications, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Defense spending uses Budget Function 050 (national defense). Civilian law-enforcement covers DOJ, DHS components (CBP, ICE), and federal grants to state / local LE agencies. Each FY ties back to a primary source linked inline in the report.
