J-PAL's Crime, Violence, and Conflict sector focuses on identifying the most effective strategies for preventing, mitigating, and responding to the effects of crime, violence, and conflict.

J-PAL’s Firms sector evaluates how to best help firms and entrepreneurs grow, innovate, and contribute to economic growth and job creation that reduce global poverty. We also seek to understand the impacts of businesses on workers and their families, the environment, and the broader society.
