Abstract

The Reporting on Violence Project began in 1994, with a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to produce Reporting on Violence: A Handbook for Journalists. The book put data, resources, case studies, and crime stories that added a prevention or public health approach to the law enforcement and criminal justice points of view in the hands of more than 950 journalists in 131 news outlets, journalism programmes or affiliated organizations across the country. this editions focuses also on how newspapers and TV stations can make use of the World Wide Web. With the Web, news organizations can give their readers and viewers an accurate picture of how violent crime is affecting them and their communities, to equip them with information to prevent the types of violent incidents that cause them and their communities the greatest harm. We hope news organizations will find these ideas a useful stimulus for creating more effective crime reporting of their own.
