Does Peacetime Military Service Affect Crime?
利用丹麦征兵抽签数据和行政记录，研究发现兵役能减少青少年罪犯的财产犯罪，但暴力犯罪、教育、就业和收入不受影响，表明影响并非仅通过限制人身自由实现。
Abstract Draft lottery data combined with Danish longitudinal administrative records show that military service can reduce criminal activity for youth offenders. For this group, property crime is reduced, and our results indicate that the effect is unlikely to be the result of incapacitation only. We find no effect of military service on violent crime, on educational attainment, or on employment and earnings, either in the short run or in the long run. These results suggest that military service does not upgrade productive human capital directly, but rather affects criminal activity through other channels (e.g., by changing attitudes to criminal activity).
