我们估计了积极的劳动力市场政策对男性犯罪的影响。为了做到这一点，我们利用了丹麦针对没有失业保险的失业人员的当地政策变化。我们的研究结果表明，与未投保失业保险和未投保失业保险的男性相比，接受治疗的男性的犯罪率都有所下降。较低的财产犯罪率是整体犯罪率下降的原因。高就业率带来的收入增加并不能解释犯罪率的下降。相反，参与积极的劳动力市场计划降低了年轻人犯罪的倾向。结果表明，积极的劳动力市场计划对犯罪行为有实质性的次要影响。
We estimate the effects of active labor market policies on men’s crime. To do this, we exploit a local policy change in Denmark that targeted unemployed people without unemployment insurance. Our results show that crime rates decreased among treated men relative to both untreated unemployment insured and uninsured men. Lower property crime accounted for the decrease in overall crime. Increased earnings from higher employment rates cannot explain the decrease in crime. Instead, participation in the active labor market program reduced young men’s propensity to commit crime. The results suggest that active labor market programs have substantial secondary effects on criminality.
