Unemployment and Crime by Signe Hald Andersen Book PDF Summary
A number of studies have investigated the extent to which levels of welfare benefits reduce crime among the unemployed. This study paper expands on the research by testing whether the intensity of other welfare programs aimed at the unemployed affect their criminal activity. The study uses evidence from a Danish social experiment that randomly assigned active labor market programs of different levels of intensity to newly unemployed individuals.
