The Crime Report

The Crime Report (TCR) is a leading nonprofit news service that specializes in the comprehensive coverage of criminal justice in the United States and beyond. The organization is a prominent publication of the Center on Media, Crime, and Justice located at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.

TCR primarily offers in-depth news stories, investigative reports, and commentaries related to crime and justice. These services aim to stimulate critical thinking and improve the quality of public discourse on crime policy issues. The organization distinguishes itself by focusing on long-form journalism and providing a platform for different voices in the criminal justice community.

In an industry often dominated by sensationalism, TCR stands out for its commitment to accuracy, fairness, and nuanced reporting. The organization's commitment to these journalistic principles has earned it a strong reputation and a trusted status among its readers.

As part of its mission, TCR has also established the Guggenheim Crime Journalism Award and the annual John Jay/HF Guggenheim Symposium on Crime in America to recognize and promote excellence in criminal justice reporting. These initiatives further highlight the organization’s commitment to high-quality journalism and its leading role in the field of criminal justice reporting.
