Social Policy
There often is not a neat line between economic advancement, political participation and social policy. Most social policy has an impact on economic advancement and political participation. Thus, while the Joint Center has focused largely on economic advancement and political participation, it has engaged in analyses of a number of social policies that impact upon economic advancement and political participation. These include work on arts engagement, juvenile justice, youth development, black families, Young Black Males in the District of Columbia, and community-based racial reconciliation activities through its NABRE program. We also have conducted general demographic studies and population trend analysis.
