Americans want safe communities with strong law enforcement and a criminal justice system that keeps violent offenders locked away. Unfortunately, too many leftists are more concerned with leniency toward criminals than justice for their victims and public safety. Zack Smith

About us
Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.

Our vision is to build an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish. Heritage's policy centers include: Asian Studies Center, B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics, Center for Data Analysis, Center for Health Policy Studies, Center for International Trade and Economics, Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, Center for Media and Public Policy, Center for Policy Innovation, DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, Domestic Policy Studies, Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, The Kathryn and Shelby Collum Davis Institute for International Studies, The Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, and Thomas A.

Chinese students pose a unique threat to American universities. In August, we hosted an event on how to prevent academic espionage on campus. Listen to these Stanford students describe how the Chinese Communist Party exploits Chinese students studying abroad to collect information on what they are researching. “ We talked to Chinese nationals who explained to us that they have to meet people on a weekly basis whereby they have monitored calls with Chinese Communist Party members where they explain the research they’re doing.... and then people that don’t want to comply can face very harsh penalties.”
