To support and help strengthen the work of advocates and organizers, the Hub is committed to providing and uplifting up-to-date research, reports, data, model policies, toolkits and other resources. We do this by searching for, categorizing, and making available existing resources from partner organizations and others working on issues related to policing. When needed, the Hub also produces its own research in collaboration with partners. This resource database is categorized, easy to search, and regularly updated by our research team.
If you would like to suggest a resource to be included in our database, please submit it here.
Resources that appear on the Community Resource Hub website are not necessarily supported or endorsed by the Hub. The resources that appear represent various different policies, toolkits, and data that have been presented to challenge issues relevant to safety, policing, and accountability.
Police Data Initiative
The Police Data Initiative (PDI) represents the great work and leadership of more than 130 law enforcement agencies who have released more than 200 datasets to date, and originated as a result of several recommendations in the Task Force on 21st Century Policing that focused on technology and transparency.
Harvard Law Review
A report with commentary by Barack Obama that gives an overview of the criminal justice landscape and need for reform, how the President can lead this reform on a Federal level, and how the President can influence change on the state and local level.
Local Progress
A toolkit that addresses the various harmful policies of criminal justice and law enforcement to aid the work of local elected officials—in close partnership with impacted community members, advocates, and organizers—to fight back in the current era of heightened attack on communities.
Common Justice
The country cannot incarcerate its way out of violence.

Increasingly, this message is being shared not only by justice reformers, but by crime survivors themselves.

Creative Interventions
A toolkit outlining strategies to stop interpersonal violence outside of police and prisons.
