The need for ecological research reform led to a large multilevel study under the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN). Research used to write this book attempted to mimic the PHDCN Chicago Sampson study, although some alterations were made due to differences in a factor analysis and financial inability to survey individual households. While there are some differences from the well-funded PHDCN Chicago study, comparisons were attempted to retest collective efficacy hypotheses and determine control neighborhoods for testing the crime impact of concentrated bus stops.
