Recent Perspectives on Employment and Crime
Thu, Nov 16, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Marriott, Franklin 8, 4th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
The relationship between employment and crime is highly contingent. Rather than take the employment-crime relationship for granted, the papers in this panel explore the many facets of work and non-work experiences among criminally involved individuals. Both American and Finnish data sources are analyzed. Among other topics, the papers consider the tradeoff between legal and illegal earnings, the characteristics of the labor market in which individuals reside, and heterogeneity in what it means to be non-employed.
