    If you are sure they are bad neighborhoods then you should nofollow those links. Depending on what you are linking to you can be penalized.

    Bad neighbourhood can mean two things: an overly crosslinked neighbourhood, or a neighbourhood of websites engaged in spam, malware, phishing or other nasties. Both can harm your website.

    Linking out to a network that's overly crosslinked can be bad, especially if you put up a sitewide link. Just be sure to link to places with good content, the kinds of websites that other people should be happy to link to as well. Also take a look at their outbound links.

    Linking to spam or malware is more troublesome, because it changes so often. Look up the site report in SiteAdvisor, and check Google for "This site may harm your computer". IE7 also has a phishing filter that may be helpful.

    you should only link to related and relevant websites... And yes, if those websites you are linking to are banned your website can get banned too.

    If you show that bad link on your site then it,s bad for site. Just remove it or convert in nofollow tad.
    If you have thousand of links then don't be scard because no one bad link effect your site.

    Enjoy
