ALEC Justice Performance Project

The ALEC Justice Performance Project (JPP) is an initiative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) that the organization says "is part of a growing movement among conservatives working to improve public safety by refocusing taxpayer dollars on violent offenders and away from low-risk offenders." It is "the entity within ALEC that works on criminal justice issues." The "project" appears to have taken on some of the roles of the Public Safety and Elections Task Force that ALEC abandoned in April 2012 in the face of controversy over such bills as "Stand Your Ground"/Castle Doctrine and the Voter ID Act.
