“…Limitations to our study include the type of data used, namely, only officially reported and substantiated cases of child maltreatment under the supervision of Child Protection Services. Child maltreatment is, however, still largely underreported and underestimated, as many cases do not come to the attention of these services, or are unsubstantiated after reporting [ 4 , 44 ]. On the other hand, it is important to note that families living in high risk neighborhoods may be more visible to authorities and therefore can be more susceptible to be reported and substantiated, as these residential areas may lead to a higher surveillance by social welfare or law enforcement agencies, as compared to other residential areas [ 10 , 11 , 42 , 44 ].…”

A related issue is the potential problem of neighborhood selection bias, whereby families with higher risk of being investigated by child protection services, either choose or are forced to live in these high-risk neighborhoods [ 10 ].…”

“…In contrast to the nascent nature of how activity spaces are related to parenting, studies examining the spatial patterning of child abuse and neglect (Paulsen 2003;Shenoi et al 2013;Thurston et al 2017) and neighborhood-level predictors of child maltreatment (Coulton et al 2007;Freisthler et al 2006) are much more robust. Child maltreatment that causes serious injury clusters in hot spots (defined by incidents geographically clustered at levels higher than chance) that change over space and time (Thurston et al 2017); child abuse hot spots were more diffuse than child neglect hot spots (Paulsen 2003); child homicides were spatially clustered in 12 hot spots covering 3% of the geographic area under study (Shenoi et al 2013). There exist geographic areas where parents may be more likely to be exposed to abusive parenting, either through witnessing events in public or through social connections.…”
