Journal ArticleDOI
Community level factors and child maltreatment rates
TL;DR: Using census and administrative agency data for 177 urban census tracts, variation in rates of officially reported child maltreatment is found to be related to structural determinants of community social organization: economic and family resources, residential instability, household and age structure, and geographic proximity of neighborhoods to concentrated poverty.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Neighborhoods Influence Child Maltreatment: A Review of the Literature and Alternative Pathways.
TL;DR: A framework for pursuing further study of neighborhoods and child maltreatment is proposed that addresses the gaps in the current literature and provides a better understanding of how neighborhood conditions act as stressors or supports for families at risk of child malt treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping residents' perceptions of neighborhood boundaries: a methodological note.
TL;DR: This pilot study suggests that discrepancies between researcher and resident-defined neighborhoods are a possible source of bias in studies of neighborhood effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neighborhoods and child maltreatment: a multi-level study.
TL;DR: If individual potential for child malt treatment is more evenly distributed across neighborhoods than reported maltreatment, then neighborhood and community play an important, if as yet unspecified, role in child maltreatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
