Governmental agencies at all levels (international, federal, state, local) and nonprofit organizations or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) often work directly with many people and social, political, etc. issues we study. These organizations also often collect and compile a wealth of data and statistics.
There are a number of quality resources to search for public policy information including articles, reports, white papers, and government documents.
