1 in 31 adults in the United States (1 in 23 if we limit the population to 18-65 year olds) is under correctional control. This statistic differentiates the U.S. from any other country in terms of its use of the criminal justice system as the primary tool of social control. Furthermore, the fairly stagnant U.S. recidivism statistics show that 70% of the individuals in the system will have future correctional involvement. This demonstrates the failure of the current system. The Center for Advancing Correctional Excellence (ACE!) at George Mason University is grappling with these problems. ACE! seeks to revisit contemporary policies that focus on using the correctional umbrella as a response to a variety of social problems. ACE! conducts research and assists policy makers and correctional practitioners with using evidence-based practices and treatments and crafting new policies focused on preventing criminal behavior instead of simply responding to it. The research at ACE! is collaborative and creative. We partner with a number of agencies, ensuring that our research contributes to important dialogues about policies and practices. The creativity of our work lies in the mixed methodological and multi-disciplinary approaches we use to better understand the problems we face. We bridge disciplines by integrating criminal justice, health services, psychological, and sociological research and practices with organizational theory when studying interventions and models designed for improving offender outcomes. We use qualitative techniques to get inside “the black box” and understand how culture and complex problems affect the everyday practices of criminal justice system. actors. integrate geographical tools and simulation models into our work to help answer larger policy questions.

The Mason Center for Social Entrepreneurship prepares Mason students to build organizations that solve social and environmental problems. We help students who seek to fix problems learn the skills they will need to accomplish their goals, and we remind students who are primarily interested in gaining skills that they can accomplish a great deal of good with those skills. In both classroom and experiential settings, our students learn to identify and understand their own values and the values of the organizations with which they work. They learn to analyze problems and potential solutions in all their complexities. And they gain important leadership and business skills. In essence, they are becoming a new brand of professionals, whose understanding of business, public policy,and traditional liberal arts principles can help cut across the silos that can doom promising projects when well-meaning people from different disciplines fail to understand each other’s approach. Our Center for Social Entrepreneurship and its predecessor, the Phoenix Project, have been pioneers in this field. We now plan to be a leader in bringing this field to maturity, not only through the Master’s program described above, but also through our signature summer program and our Social Innovation in Action workshops.”The Mason Center for Social Entrepreneurship (MCSE) prepares students and the Mason community to build organizations that solve pressing social and environmental problems. We recognize that those who want to improve conditions often lack the skills they will need to make the changes they seek, and those who learn these skills don’t always realize the amount of good these skills will allow them to accomplish. At MCSE, we aim to change that dynamic. We expect our students to have a unique set of skills that will lead to transformative social and environmental changes. At MCSE, we are able to leverage the energy of the National Capital Region, a hub of social innovation, information technology, and policy-making. The commitment to innovation at George Mason University, Virginia’s largest institution of higher education and the only one in the DC area, allows us to create an environment where emerging social entrepreneurs will turn innovative ideas into reality. Our Mission To equip Mason students and community members with the perspective and skills needed to build organizations that solve social and enivronmental problems. Educate students to analyze social and environmental problems and to develop innovative, unique, feasible, and sustainable solutions and enterprises. Create opportunities for students to explore and design solutions to difficult problems by offering workshops, volunteer and internship opportunities, space to prototype solutions, and advice on starting new enterprises. Connect students, faculty, staff to alumni and social entrepreneurs involved in solving pressing social and environmental problems.
