Abstract

Recent research has highlighted the importance of interaction between individuals and their community in determining criminal and labour market choice, while standard models have focused on a human capital explanation. This research attempts to reconcile these two strands of literature by empirically exploring the role of each of these factors in the decision to work and commit crime.
