This study expands the research on neighborhood effects and child maltreatment by examining the structural conditions, including religion and nationality, in small towns in Israel. The results are compared with those in inner-city and suburban neighborhoods in Western countries. Five community structural variables were statistically correlated with investigated cases of child maltreatment: adults' unemployment rate, rate of new immigrants, rate of children in single-parent families, population gain or loss, and the community's location in relation to a central city. A multivariate regression analysis of these variables explained 44% of the variance.
本研究通过考察以色列小镇的结构条件（包括宗教和民族），扩展了邻里效应与儿童虐待的研究。结果与西方国家内城和郊区邻里的研究结果进行了比较。五个社区结构变量与调查的儿童虐待案例呈统计学相关：成年人失业率、新移民率、单亲家庭儿童率、人口增减以及社区与中心城市的位置关系。对这些变量的多元回归分析解释了 44%的方差。
