The Prosecution Project (tPP) is a Washington, DC-based research platform that conducts long-term open-source intelligence work on felony cases involving illegal political violence in the United States dating back to 1990. It collects and analyzes thousands of cases to explore how defendant characteristics, charges, and prosecutorial strategies relate to outcomes, including factors such as political ideology or religion, motives, means, targets, and impacts. Each case is coded across fifty variables and linked to primary sources, with a structured validation process that involves independent coding, review by senior project staff, and final validation by a senior auditor. The project aims to generate findings for scholars and policymakers and to engage students in a sustained, team-based research effort. Located in Washington, DC, its work sits within the research services sector and relies on transparent data workflows to support patterned analyses and the development of models that reveal patterns, trends, and outliers.
