Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) is a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. It was designed to advance the understanding of the developmental pathways of both positive and negative human social behaviors. In particular, the project examined the causes and pathways of juvenile delinquency, adult crime, substance abuse, and violence. At the same time, the project also provided a detailed look at the environments in which these social behaviors take place by collecting substantial amounts of data about urban Chicago, including its people, institutions, and resources. Nearly all PHDCN data require an individual application with supporting materials to obtain the data. Applications are handled by the the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). Further instructions will appear on the study home page (linked from search results), where relevant.

芝加哥社区人类发展项目（PHDCN）是一项大规模、跨学科的关于家庭、学校和社区如何影响儿童和青少年发展的研究。该项目旨在深化对人类社会行为发展路径（包括积极和消极行为）的理解。特别是，项目考察了青少年犯罪、成人犯罪、物质滥用和暴力的成因及发展路径。同时，项目还通过对包括芝加哥的居民、机构及资源在内的城市芝加哥大量数据的收集，详细分析了这些社会行为发生的具体环境。PHDCN几乎所有的数据获取都需要提交个人申请及相应材料。申请由国家犯罪司法数据档案馆（NACJD）处理。进一步的指导信息将出现在研究主页上（通过搜索结果链接），其中包含相关内容。
