Community Level Factors and Child Maltreatment Rates.
Coulton, Claudia J.; And Others
Child Development, v66 n5 p1262-76 Oct 1995
Using census and administrative agency data for 177 urban census tracts in Cleveland, Ohio, variations in rates of officially reported child maltreatment were found to be related to structural determinants of community social organization. Child maltreatment rates were also found to be intercorrelated with other indicators of breakdown of community social control and organization. (MDM)
