Safety in Schools and Neighborhoods
Abstract: Exposure to violent crime in childhood has potential long-run effects on students’ future earnings and hours worked. However, in the neighborhoods of students’ homes and schools where crime occurs, there are other factors at play working against students. This Economic Commentary discusses how violent crime and additional factors related to education potentially affect educational progress and, by extension, future labor force attachment. In school neighborhoods and residential neighborhoods where a lot of violent crime takes place, school administrators and students report a need for greater support from caregivers and from adults at school.
