Preventable Crime Project Launches Public Website and Begins Its Work
July 28, 2026
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — July 28, 2026 — The Preventable Crime Project today launched its public website and formally opened its work as a criminal justice research and advocacy organization built on public data. The organization will document sentencing outcomes and reoffense rates at the state and federal level, track the enactment status of criminal justice legislation across all fifty states, and publish the stories behind that record, including cases the mainstream press has ignored or buried. The Project was founded on the conviction that public spaces belong to everyone, and that the public has a right to know when the system lets a dangerous offender back onto the street.
Evan Doerr, Founder, Chairman, and Executive Director of the Preventable Crime Project, said: “Organizations like The Sentencing Project have spent a generation manufacturing sympathy for offenders while the victims of crime and the safety of ordinary neighborhoods went unmentioned. The Preventable Crime Project exists to publish the record these organizations have obscured, to track judicial performance with rigor, and to tell the stories of victims the press routinely leaves out. The public has a right to know when the system releases a dangerous offender back onto the street, and we intend to make that record impossible to ignore.”
The Preventable Crime Project is a nonprofit research organization tracking criminal justice policy and outcomes because everyone deserves to live on safe streets. Learn more at preventablecrime.org/about.
