False Universalism: Reducing Violent Deaths Among Black Males • 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. www.nlc.org
