What is social science?

'It is the pinnacle of the hierarchy of sciences. It's about man and society, of understanding people' - Mark Easton, BBC News Home Editor

'Social science helps us understand our social world, it helps us understand how it works' - Theo Farrell, Kings College London

'It's a very important subject to study because it tells us whether there are patterns in people's behaviour and how people react to policies' - Sascha Becker, University of Warwick
