First sentence: The evidence of worsening life conditions, concentration of poverty (Jargowsky &amp; Bane, 1991; Pandey &amp; Coulton, 1994; Wilson, 1991) and high degree of African American segregation in urban areas (Gephart, 1989; Jencks &amp; Mayer, 1990; Massey &amp; Denton, 1989; Wacquant &amp; Wilson, 1993) has led to a growing interest in how neighborhood contexts effect child development and parenting behavior (Coulton, Korbin, &amp; Su, 1996; Coulton, Korbin, &amp; Su, &amp; Chow, 1995).
