  1. Díaz, Juan & Grau, Nicolás & Reyes, Tatiana & Rivera, Jorge (2021): The impact of grade retention on juvenile crime
    This paper studies the causal effect of grade retention in primary school on juvenile crime in Chile. Implementing a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, we find that repeating an early grade in primary school decreases the probability of committing a crime as a juvenile by 14.5 percentage points. ... Second, late grade retention in primary education has a positive and more relevant effect on crime than the direct effect in early grades.

  2. Ari Francisco De Araujo & Claudio Djissey Shikida & Reginaldo Pinto Nogueira & Frederico M. Poley Ferreira (2012): Socio-Economic Determinants of Juvenile Crime among Street Children and Teenagers in a Brazilian State
    We investigate the determinants of juvenile crime among street children and teenagers in the Minas Gerais state (Brazil). ... We have estimated a Logit model, which enabled us to identify the correlation between several variables and juvenile crime. The found results show that younger males attending school and that haven't been subject to violence themselves are less inclined to commit crime. Contrary to common belief, we found that conditional transfers and other government programs do not have a direct effect on reducing crime rates among children and teenagers living or working on the streets.

  3. Elena Dalla Chiara & Federico Perali (2022): What Causes Juvenile Crime?
    This work analyses the causes of juvenile crime within a case-control study undertaken in the Italian regions of Veneto and Sicily. ... Parents’ education and family income have no effect on crime rates in the Veneto region but are significant risk factors in Sicily. Dropping out of school substantially increases the probability that an adolescent is involved in crime activities.

  4. Belley Philippe & Castex Gonzalo & Dechter Evgenia (2023): The Changing Determinants of Juvenile Crime
    Following decades of increasing crime rates in the U.S., crime participation declined substantially throughout the 1990s, and have remained low in the 2000s. ... In the 1980s compared to the 2000s, youth from disadvantaged family backgrounds, those with lower skills, and those in urban areas were more disproportionately represented in crime participation. Our results suggest that most of the decline in crime is related to changes in the socio-economic environment and public policy shifts.

  5. Depew, Briggs & Eren, Ozkan (2016): School entry age and juvenile crime
    In this paper we use administrative data from Louisiana to analyze the effect of school starting age on juvenile crime. We find that late school entry by one year reduces the incidence of juvenile crime for young black females, particularly in high crime areas.

  6. Devika Hazra (2021): Determinants of juvenile crime: evidence from India
    Purpose - Using data from 2009–2016 across 31 states and union territories, this paper investigates determinants of juvenile delinquency in India as well as explores the nature of the complex relationship between economic variables and crime rate. ... Findings - Estimation results indicate that macroeconomic factors – GSDP per capita and adult unemployment rate – are significant in explaining the juvenile crime rate in India. Higher poverty rate and percentage of slums were found to increase juvenile crime. ... Finally, education has a deterring impact on crimes relating to juveniles but deterrence factors do not. ... For example, the adult unemployment rate was negatively correlated with juvenile crime, and an increase in police density exhibits a positive association with the juvenile crime rate.

  9. Ignacio Munyo (2015): The Juvenile Crime Dilemma
    I develop a dynamic model of behavior to analyze juvenile crime. ... In order to evaluate whether the model explains the evolution of crime, I calibrate it and test whether it can account for the observed variations in juvenile crime levels across changes in economic and legal conditions. The model is able to reproduce 91 percent of the recent increase in juvenile crime in Uruguay by affecting key model parameters in line with observed facts (a decrease in the relative returns of legal activities and the introduction of a lenient juvenile crime regulation and enforcement strategy). Counterfactual model results predict that a reduction in the age of criminal majority would significantly lower juvenile crime involvement. However, if the transmission of crime-related skills in correctional facilities were strong enough, harsher punishments to juveniles would increase the likelihood of criminal involvement later in life.

  10. Huttunen, Kristiina & Pekkala Kerr, Sari & Mälkönen, Ville (2014): The Effect of Rehabilitative Punishments on Juvenile Crime and Labor Market Outcomes
    This paper estimates the effect of a rehabilitative punishment on the post-release outcomes of juvenile criminals using a unique Finnish data set on sentences and punishments merged with the longitudinal population census for 1990-2007. ... A variety of research designs are used to isolate the effect of the juvenile punishment and to control for observable characteristics of the young offenders. The juvenile punishment experiment was initially conducted in certain criminal courts only and was applicable for youths aged under 18, giving rise to a differences-in-differences and triple differences setup. The juvenile punishment reduced reoffending during the year immediately after sentencing, but had no long-term effect on reoffending nor on labor market outcomes.
