This volume explores methods for studying child maltreatment in the
context of neighborhoods and communities, given their importance in
the lives of families. It discusses the ways in which neighborhoods
have changed over time and how this that has impacted parenting in
the modern context. It also highlights the ways in which policies
have contributed to persistent poverty and inequality, which
indirectly impacts child maltreatment. An important focus of this
volume is to examine the multitude of ways in which the
neighborhood context affects families, including structural factors
like poverty, segregation, residential instability, and process
factors like social cohesion. The volume takes a critical look at
the ways in which culture and context affect maltreatment through a
community-based approach, and uses this approach to understand
child maltreatment in rural areas. The editors and contributors
explore innovative prevention approaches and reflect on the future
of this field in terms of what remains unknown, how the information
should be used to guide policy in the future, and how practitioners
can best support parents while being mindful of the importance of
context. Addressing an important topic, this volume is of relevance
and interest to a wide readership of scholars and students in the
social and behavioral sciences, as well as to practitioners and
policy makers working with neighborhoods and communities.
