| | In 1976, Craft co-founded the Kitty Genovese Women's Project (KGWP) when she and another activist posed as sociology students under the pretense of doing a "statistical study on violent crimes" and obtained the names of every indicted sex offender in Dallas County, Texas from 1959 to 1975. This was before such records were kept on computer; the activists worked for nine months writing all the names down on index cards. A year later, 25,000 copies of the KGWP newspaper were published. The paper listed all 2,100 sex offender indictments, 1,700 of which were multiple offenders, and was distributed throughout Dallas. On March 8, International Women's Day, the group read the names over local community radio KCHU for 13 hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/Porn/KGWP1.html|title=Exposing the Rapist Next Door|work=|accessdate=February 23, 2006}} originally published in Seven Days Magazine, April 25, 1977 archived at [http://www.nostatusquo.com No Status Quo].</ref> | | In 1976, Craft co-founded the Kitty Genovese Women's Project (KGWP) when she and another activist posed as sociology students under the pretense of doing a "statistical study on violent crimes" and obtained the names of every indicted sex offender in Dallas County, Texas from 1959 to 1975.
