An inter-disciplinary approach to building the model is utilized that merges ideas from budgeting, policy analysis and criminology.

The factors hypothesized to impact federal spending in this area are economic constraints imposed on government spending, the ideological makeup of Congress and the president, the actual crime rate, and the public's attitude toward crime. Five of the eight variables demonstrated statistical significance at the.10 level or better.
