Abstract	Based on nearly 500 interviews and qualitative case studies of families in inner-city Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), this book reveals how parents and their teenage children managed different levels of resources and dangers in low-income neighborhoods and how families and communities contributed to the development of the children. The chapters are: (1) "Parenting in the Inner City"; (2) "The Philadelphia Study"; (3) "How They Fared: Measuring Adolescent Success"; (4) "How Parents Manage Risk and Opportunity"; (5) "Parenting Matters"; (6) "Family Influences and Adolescents' Lives"; (7) "How Do Neighborhoods Matter?"; (8) "Adolescent Competence and the Effect of Cumulative Risk Factors"; (9) "Looking Ahead"; and (10) "Managing for Success." An appendix contains tables of study data. (Contains 33 tables, 24 figures, and 237 references.) (SLD)
