IZA World of Labor discussion on the economics of crime

IZA World of Labor discussion on the economics of crime with Nadia Campaniello from the University of Torino and Kevin Schnepel from Simon Fraser University

The questions discussed include:

- How does education affect the kind of crimes one might engage in?
- What crime might one be more likely to commit as a college graduate?
- How can we reduce crime through diversion?
- What kind of crimes do women commit that are different to men?
- If there is a crime that both men and women commit – is there a difference in the amount of jail time served? Are women treated with more leniency?
- The opioid epidemic – if we entirely eliminated opioid addiction, how much would property crime be reduced?
- What makes repeat crime more likely?
