Une comparaison des risques de placements sur trois echelles spatiales.
L etude aborde la question de lop erationnalit e des p erim` etres frontaliers / d ecoupages
par quartiers par lanalyse des risques dentr ee en placement sur trois echelles spatiales.
Entre 2000 et 2003 (n = 3 311), les nouveaux placements ont et e g eocod es selon trois
niveaux (N = 46 codes postaux, 320 cas recens es et 983 groupes). Un syst` eme exploratoire
danalyse de donn ees spatiales a et e utilis e pour comparer les autocorr elations spatiales des
taux de placements sur diff erentes echelles.
Les r esultats de l etude d emontrent que la fa con dont les quartiers sont d enis inuence
la fa con dont les placements sont effectues. Cette etude conclue en indiquant des pistes pour
mieux cibler les services a offrir dans les quartiers a haut risques. Des pistes de recherche
ult erieures sont aussi sugg er ees.

A Comparison of Foster Care Entry Risk at Three Spatial Scales 235
RESUMEN
Una Comparaci on de la Entrada al Sistema Acogida Temporal en Tres Escalas
Espaciales
Este estudio aborda el problema de la operacionalizaci on de los lmites de vecindarios
a trav es de la investigaci on de la entrada al sistema de cuidado adoptivo temporal en tres
escalas espaciales. Entradas al sistema de acogida temporal de un condado de California
entre los a nos 2000 y 2003 (n = 3.311) han sido geo-codicadas para cada una de las tres
escalas (N = 46 c odigos postales, 320 subdivisiones de condado
1
, 983 grupos de calles
2
).
El an alisis exploratorio de datos espaciales es usado para comparar la autocorrelaci on
espacial de las tasas de entrada entre las distintas escalas. Los resultados sugieren que
dependiendo de c omo los vecindarios son denidos, el patr on geogr aco de la incidencia del
cuidado adoptivo temporal cambia. Se destacan implicaciones para concentrar los servicios
en vecindarios de alto riesgo y direcciones para futuras investigaciones.
THE AUTHOR
Bridgette Lery is a Researcher at the Chapin Hall Cen-
ter for Children at the University of Chicago. Much of
her work focuses on how location and neighborhood so-
cial structure impacts childrens involvement with the
child welfare system. She is particularly interested in how
neighborhoods can be better dened and targeted for so-
cial service planning. Dr. Lery has an M.S. in Social Work
from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Social Welfare
from the University of California, Berkeley.
Glossary
Neighborhood: can be conceptualized as a geographic place where residents share social
networks and informal ties.
