Congress funds slow to reach crime programs says audit
The General Accounting Office reports that despite 860 million dollars in LEAA funding, many states have not distributed funds to local projects. Auditors cite 13 percent of fiscal 1969, 63 percent of fiscal 1970, and 95.3 percent of fiscal 1971 money undelivered. They flag cases where grants supported social programs rather than crime control and note internal agency delays and matching-fund hurdles as causes for the lag.
