“…Another study that uses US data on white women from 1960 to1980 shows that an additional year of schooling reduces the probability of incarceration by 0.05-0.09 percentage points and the female arrest rate by more than 50%, for both violent and property crime, while there is little impact on white-collar crime [6]. Similar studies that observe men find that the effect of one more year of schooling on conviction is about four times higher for men than for women.…”

“…Furthermore, over the period 1960-1980, more educated women tended to have more children, which represent an opportunity cost for them when considering committing a crime. In more recent years this trend may have changed, however, as better-educated women are more present in the labor market, spend less time at home, and have fewer children [6].…”

Gender crime convergence over twenty years: Evidence from Australia

Historically men have been responsible for the majority of criminal activity and dominate prison populations around the globe. The twentieth century witnessed significant male-female convergence in a myriad of positive dimensions including human capital acquisition, labour force participation and wages. This has prompted the question, to what extent are women "looking more like men"? In this paper we examine whether similar forces are at play in the context of criminality. We study the pattern of gender convergence in crime using rich administrative data on the population of young people in Queensland, Australia. The evidence points to a significant narrowing of the gender gap in criminal activity over the course of the last twenty years. Crime convergence occurs for broad aggregates of both property and violent crime, as well as for almost all sub-component categories. Convergence occurs largely because crime has fallen significantly for men, combined with no downward trend for women. This is confirmed by aggregate analysis of rates of offending in police force districts matched to Census data by gender between 2001 and 2016.

“…Second, without adequate educational facilities, the decline in educational attainment is evident. Owing to the lack of required knowledge, people fail to enter the skilled labor force, and thereby, they get indulged in criminal activities (Cano-Urbina & Lochner, 2019). In a nutshell, unemployment and lack of educational attainment are the possible reasons for limited access to economic benefits, and this developmental marginalization can be considered as the potential reason behind the rise in criminal activities.…”

Researchers have identified the impact of crime rates on tourism development, and in this study, we intend to look into the possible social causes behind those impacts. In this pursuit, we analyze the moderating role of social determinants of crime in shaping the association between tourism development and governance for 30 Asia-pacific countries over 1990-2017. In methodological terms, we have employed principal component analysis (PCA) for index building and generalized method of moments (GMM) for the estimation of long run elasticities. Using PCA, we have built separate indices for tourism development and social indicators. Results of GMM indicate that incidents of unemployment and increase in refugee population can diminish the positive impact of education on the association between tourism development and governance. The policymakers need to focus more on capacity building and job creation for internalizing the social imbalances, which might hamper the governance quality for fostering the development of tourism sector.
