The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 merged two grant programs to establish the JAG program. The Bureau of Justice Assistance administers the program, and BJS calculates the award amounts. States and localities receive funds based on their resident population reported by the Census Bureau and on violent crime data reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation?s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

The reports, "Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, 2020" (NCJ 300291); "2019" (NCJ 300290); and "2018" (NCJ 300289), were written by BJS Statistician Alexia D. Cooper, Ph.D. The report, "Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, 2017 "(NCJ 252951), was written by BJS Statistician Alexia D. Cooper, Ph.D., and Shelley S. Hyland, Ph.D. ("former"). The reports, related documents, and additional information about BJS?s statistical publications and programs are available on the BJS website at bjs.ojp.gov [ [link removed] ]
