Urban Poverty and Juvenile Crime: Evidence from a Randomized Housing-Mobility Experiment
利用随机住房流动实验数据，研究将家庭从高贫困社区迁至低贫困社区对青少年犯罪的影响，发现迁居可减少青少年暴力犯罪。
This paper uses data from a randomized housing-mobility experiment to study the effects of relocating families from high- to low-poverty neighborhoods on juvenile crime. Outcome measures come from juvenile arrest records taken from government administrative data. Our findings seem to suggest that providing families with the opportunity to move to lower-poverty neighborhoods reduces violent criminal behavior by teens.
