The Reform Project KC

All Kansas Citians deserve to live their lives freely without fear of violence. Curbing violent crime in our community will require a years-long, multi-faceted approach. The Reform Project framework was created in response to staggering rates of violent crime in our community. Each member of our community is different, with their own wants, needs, and goals—and we must treat them as such. Opportunity looks different for every individual. Rehabilitation looks different for every individual. There isn’t a singular approach to solving crime—but we know for sure that we cannot simply arrest our way out of this problem.
