Scaring or Scarring? Labor Market Effects of Criminal Victimization
利用荷兰的详细登记数据，研究犯罪受害对受害者劳动力市场的短期和长期影响，发现受害后收入显著下降、福利领取增加，且影响持续多年。
Little is known about the costs of crime to victims. We use unique and detailed register data on victimizations and monthly labor market outcomes from the Netherlands and estimate event study designs to assess short-and long-term effects of criminal victimization. Across offenses, both males and females experience significant decreases in earnings (up to 212.9%) and increases in benefit receipt (up to 16%) after victimization. The negative labor market responses are lasting (up to 4 years) and accompanied by shorter-lived responses in health expenditure. Heterogeneity results suggest that most groups of vic-tims, including the noninjured, suffer nontrivial losses.
