Our primary research goal is explaining variation in violence between neighborhoods and cities.
The Clark Center holds that social research today must make clear the links between violence and the exclusion of poor neighborhoods from economic development. It also advocates for the inclusion of poor, "unwired," communities in the new economy and the active participation of residents of those communities in research.
