Schools, Neighborhoods, and the Long-Run Effect of Crime-Prone Peers
Abstract
Although it is well known that childhood peers affect future outcomes, little is known about the effects of different neighborhood factors. In working paper 1909, PERC’s Rex Grey Professor Mark Hoekstra and coauthor Stephen B. Billings examine the importance of school versus neighborhood peers on adult crime. This paper also documents how school and neighborhood peers affect cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes during adolescence.
