The Violence Project is a nonprofit 501c3, nonpartisan research center dedicated to reducing violence in society using data and analysis to improve policy and practice.

Our research on mass shootings, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, has received global media attention. 

The Off-Ramp Project, one of the arms of TVP, is a hub of information, training, and resources focused on preventing all forms of violence, and specifically mass shootings. Off-Ramp translates findings from the mass shooter database into tangible, evidence-based, accessible strategies and skills to prevent future violence.
