Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study examines the differential impact of neighborhood and school social environments on adolescent behavior by simultaneously modeling the effects of each on the likelihood of arrest. To do so, I use a multilevel, longitudinal research design that combines individual-level data on Chicago-area youth with contextual data from the U.S. census, the Chicago Public Schools, and the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. A conceptual model of neighborhood and school mechanisms is tested, which specifies exactly how, why, and when neighborhood and school conditions influence youth outcomes. This assessment of mechanisms examines and extends prior work related to the concepts of social capital, relational trust, and collective efficacy. While prior work has focused on the influence of neighborhood-level collective efficacy on various demographic and behavioral outcomes, this study introduces a comparable indicator of collective efficacy in schools. School efficacy is defined as trust amongst school actors and the willingness of teachers to collectively maintain school rules and work towards school improvement. Findings suggest that school efficacy has a significant controlling influence on criminal behavior.
