Parent Agency or Ministry

This dimension names the parent agency or ministry that a specific criminal-justice institution answers to. Wikipedia notes that law enforcement agencies are "organized and overseen by certain authorities," authorities that function as the parent body for the agencies beneath them. Browsing this way collects every institution answering to the same parent agency.
