Our Why

Purpose

At The True Crime Tracker, our mission is to prevent crime through awareness and seek justice through legislative action. We prioritize the voices of victims over the sensationalism of criminal notoriety and perversion. Our goal is to shed light on the stories of those affected by crime with the utmost ethical responsibility, ensuring their experiences and memories are honored and preserved. By focusing on the impact of crime on individuals and communities, we strive to foster a deeper understanding of these issues and advocate for meaningful change in the criminal justice system.

Origin Story

The True Crime Tracker was born out of a personal and professional journey. As a journalist working for a major news network, I discovered that the stories that resonated most deeply with me were those that highlighted the experiences of victims and their families. Unlike the sensationalist coverage often seen in the media, these stories offered a profound connection to the real human impact of crime.

Seeing the shortcomings in how crime stories were reported, I felt a compelling need to shift the focus. I wanted to create a platform that not only raised awareness about crime but also championed the cause of victims. By focusing on their stories, we aim to provide a space where their voices are heard and their experiences are respected.

Our commitment extends beyond storytelling. We are dedicated to using our platform to advocate for legislative changes that address systemic issues within the criminal justice system. We believe that through informed discussion and action, we can contribute to a safer, more just society.

In every story we tell, we remain steadfast in our ethical approach, ensuring that the dignity and memory of those affected by crime are preserved. The True Crime Tracker is more than a blog; it is a commitment to making a difference by honoring the victims and advocating for justice.
