• Armed with this knowledge, many communities still take a

universal approach to violence prevention strategy, programming, and evaluation.

• “Universal approaches that are not sensitive to the needs of

the particular have uneven impact (Powell, 2011).”

– False universalism assumes that targeted policies that address the needs of certain populations become a divisive wedge. – False universalism also assumes that everyone benefits from universal approaches. But universal approaches that are not sensitive to the needs of the particular are never truly universal; they tend to have an uneven impact, and can even exacerbate racial inequality at times. – We need to be universal in our goals but not in our process.
