InSight Crime was founded by Jeremy McDermott and Steven Dudley (a journalist who formerly reported for NPR, The Washington Post and the Miami Herald) in April 2010 under the endorsement of the Fundación Ideas para la Paz (FIP) in Bogotá, Colombia, and with the financial support of the Open Society Foundations. By August 2010, the Center for Latin American and Latino Studies at the American University became a sponsor.
According to the organization, it was founded in order to create an online platform that "connects the pieces, the players and organizations" involved in Latin American crime and "the effectiveness of the initiatives designed to stop them."
Website
InSight Crime launched its website in December 2010 with news on organized crime and profiles of drug trafficking organizations and criminal personalities in Colombia and Mexico.
The website intends to create an "information resource and networking tool designed for students, academics, analysts, researchers, policymakers, journalists, non-governmental workers, government officials and businesses to obtain the information and contacts they need to tackle the problems that organized crime increasingly presents in Latin America and the Caribbean."
Consultancy
Apart from publishing information on its website, InSight Crime also conducts investigations across Latin America for private and government organizations.
External funding
Insight Crime is funded by a mixture of government grants and corporate philanthropy.
Between 2022 and 2023, Insignt Crime received US$530,900 in grants from the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs of the United States Department of State. For the period December 2023 through to June 2027, the Swedish government development agency (Sida) will fund Insight Crime US$890,410. As of 2016, Insight Crime indicated that the Open Society Foundation was a "major funder".
