The Crime Report was founded in 2008 by the Center for Media, Crime and Justice (CMCJ), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in criminal justice journalism. The idea behind The Crime Report was to create a dedicated news platform that would provide in-depth coverage and analysis of criminal justice issues, with the goal of informing the public and fostering informed discussions on these important topics. Today, The Crime Report continues to be operated and managed by the CMCJ. The Crime Report primarily focuses on news and analysis related to the criminal justice system, including topics such as law enforcement, courts, corrections, and crime trends. While the publication does not extensively cover sports, entertainment, or general political news, it provides comprehensive reporting on the various aspects of the criminal justice system and how they impact communities across the United States. Based in New York City, The Crime Report's team of journalists and contributors are well-positioned to cover national criminal justice issues and trends. One interesting fact: Unlike many news outlets that rely on advertising revenue, The Crime Report operates as a non-profit organization, which allows it to prioritize in-depth, investigative journalism over the need to generate profits. This unique business model has enabled the publication to maintain its independence and focus on serving the public interest by providing high-quality, fact-based reporting on criminal justice issues.
