The Violence Prevention Project
Amplifying The Violence Project's Impact Through Data Storytelling
Client Background
The Violence Prevention Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing violence through research and education. They have compiled comprehensive databases tracking mass shooting incidents, perpetrators, and victims across various settings, including K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and houses of worship. Their work serves as a crucial resource for reporters, researchers, policymakers, and the general public seeking to understand and prevent mass shootings.
Problem
Despite having collected extensive and important data, The Violence Prevention Project faced challenges in making this information easily accessible and impactful for their diverse audiences. Simply providing raw data wasn't sufficient to convey the depth of their research or to engage their audience. Reporters need quick access to historical context while researchers required a deeper understanding of the data's breadth and the ability to access raw datasets. The organization recognized the need for visual data storytelling capabilities to make their data more approachable and actionable.
