Improved detection rates unambiguously decrease crime. Group … for the possibility that criminal passengers disguise themselves as members of low-crime groups. …

In this paper, we study the relationship among schooling, youth employment and youth crime. The framework, a …’s schooling, work and crime decisions and arrest and incarceration outcomes. We allow for observable initial conditions …

There is much discussion of the relationships between crime, inequality, and unemployment. We construct a model where … all three are endogenous. We find that introducing crime into otherwise standard models of labor markets has several … equilibria in natural but previously unexplored ways; hence two identical neighborhoods can end up with different levels of crime …

We extend simple search-theoretic models of crime, unemployment and inequality to incorporate on-the-job search. This … of crime, on-the-job search models are more relevant empirically as well as more interesting in terms of the types of … equilibria they generate. We characterize crime decisions, unemployment, and the equilibrium wage distribution. We use …
