Poverty in the United States - There is significant disagreement about poverty in the United States; particularly over how poverty ought to be defined. Using radically different definitions, two major groups of advocates have claimed variously (a) that the United States has eliminated poverty over the last century; or (b) that it has such a severe crisis of poverty that it ought to devote significantly more resources to the problem.
Poverty line in the United States - In the United States, official statistics on poverty and the official poverty line are kept by the US Census Bureau. Other federal and state agencies, however, use other definitions of poverty, for example, to do means testing for welfare programs.
Social issues in the United States - Social issues in the United States as perceived by social justice advocates and other groups and commentators include an "unequal" educational system, poverty, high rates of crime and incarceration, and lack of access to quality health care. Some also believe that the past history of racism and racial segregation in the United States remains a major problem.
Southern Poverty Law Center - The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American non-profit legal, educational, and intelligence-gathering group for the purposes of advocacy for civil rights and against racism. The center is based in Montgomery, Alabama, in the Southern United States.
National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) - Uses demographic research and program and policy analyses to identify and promote strategies that reduce young child poverty and that improve the lives of poor young children. "There are over 14 million children living in poverty in the United States. More than 5 million of them are under age six. The young child poverty rate is significantly higher in the United States than in other Western industrialized nations."
Michael Harrington, The Other America - An extract from Harrington's 1962 book examining poverty in the United States.
Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy - Publishes articles from law professors and practitioners in poverty-related fields as well as student research, works from scholars in poverty-related disciplines, and the "voices" of persons living in poverty.
