ASSESSING "NEIGHBORHOOD EFFECTS": Social Processes and New Directions in Research

Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond Social Capital: Spatial Dynamics of Collective Efficacy for Children
TL;DR: The authors examined variations in intergenerational closure, reciprocal local exchange, and shared expectations for informal social control across 342 neighborhoods in Chicago and found that residential stability and concentrated affluence, more so than poverty and racial/ethnic composition, predict intergeneration closure and reciprocal exchange, while concentrated disadvantage is associated with sharply lower expectations for shared child control.
