Neighborhood and Community Connectedness in Child Maltreatment Research.
Korbin, Jill E.
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v27 n2 p137-40 Feb 2003
This commentary on Enrique Gracia's (2003) article, "Social Isolation from Communities and Child Maltreatment: A Cross-Cultural Perspective," discusses the relationship of neighborhood context to child maltreatment. The difficulty of sorting out individual and contextual factors is emphasized, along with the problem of clearly defining the unit of analysis. (Contains 10 references.) (CR)
