In October 2006, the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) commissioned a review of social capital indicators in the UK. The projects main objectives were:
- To understand the available data sources underpinning social capital
indicators in the UK.
- To provide clear information about available data sources underpinning
social capital indicators in the USA.
- To understand the extent to which UK data can reliably map onto indicators in the USA.
The aim was to allow policy-makers to gauge levels of social cohesion and integration in neighbourhoods and communities. Which in turn would suggest ways in which policies might be adapted to nurture and strengthen integration and social cohesion.
