Definition
- Social justice is becoming a significant focus of the social sciences, in particular, applied developmental science. The promotion of social justice is clearly aligned with the goals of applied developmental science, that is, “to advance the integration of developmental research with actions—policies and programs—that promote positive development and/or enhance the life chances of vulnerable children and families” (Lerner, Fisher, & Weinberg, 2000, p. [Source: Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science; Social Justice]
