### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Thought provoking...worth reading for anyone who wants to understand how neighborhoods influence the outcomes of people
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2014*

It is challenging to understand how neighborhoods influence the life outcomes of people because people move and neighborhoods change.  The dynamic processes are a context where public policy attempts to intervene to help the most disadvantaged.  This book reports on a monumental study of Chicago.  For that alone, it is worth reading.  It pushes back against some of the prevailing notions of economists, which should advance the inquiry and dialogue in the social sciences.My only disappointment in the book was the lack of policy prescriptions for the most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Collective efficacy plays an important role in protecting the residents of these places. But I left asking what are the models to improve collective efficacy in neighborhoods.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Clear and concise
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2012*

In this book, Robert Sampson clearly summarizes two decades worth of research on neighborhood effects in Chicago and provides new findings that move urban studies forward.  While some of Dr. Sampson's journal articles are dense and complicated, this book is not.  It is incredibly clear and concise.  Sampson wisely leaves out explanations of the rigorous and advanced statistics used to draw the conclusions, and focuses more on interpretation and explanation.  This approach makes the oftentimes confusing neighborhood effects research much more accessible.  Sampson also provides what is probably the clearest definition of collective efficacy to date.This book is a must-read for people interested in how a neighborhood can affect life outcomes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent book for a researcher
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015*

Excellent book for a researcher.For those readers that do not conduct research, you can safely skip over the statistics and read the text and gain insights.
