“…These researchers suggest that disorganized neighborhoods put parents at additional risk for maltreatment because of the multiple stressors they provide, the lack of shared social norms among residents regarding child rearing, and an absence of supportive services for parents (Ben-Arieh, 2010; Coulton, Korbin, & Su, 1999; Ernst, 2001; Freisthler, 2004; Freisthler, Bruce, et al, 2007; Freisthler, Gruenewald, Remer, Lery, & Needell, 2007; Freisthler, Gruenewald, Ring, & LaScala, 2008; Garbarino & Kostelny, 1992; Klein, 2011; Korbin, Coulton, Chard, Platt-Houston, & Su, 1998).
