This paper investigates the effect of delinquency in youth on subsequent educational attainment. To do so, we focus on delinquent acts committed by age 16 and examine their impact on two measures of educational attainment: high school graduation and college graduation. Using information on males from the extremely rich National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we find plausible evidence that delinquency by age 16 reduces the likelihood of graduating from high school and college. This effect is driven by early initiators, those who offend intensely, and by those whose delinquent activities involve income generating acts. Importantly, the impact of delinquency on education is not confined to those who have interaction with the criminal justice system, or gang members. Further analysis suggests that a mechanism through which delinquency impacts on education is expected returns to crime, as reflected by subjective beliefs about the probability of arrest for a property crime. This effect is stronger for those of higher ability and is robust to accounting for attitude to risk.

Ever lost someone you loved? Then had to move in with someone you hardly know? Even if you''re related? Who actually lives on the other side of the world? Which then forces you to move, to start a new school, and become a whole new you? I have. Hi, my name is Ruby and I''m a fourteen-year-old girl from the year 2025. Unfortunately I can''t just give you the all answers to these questions. Otherwise you won''t read my journal or diary or whatever you want to call this. Personally I''d love to tell you the answers, but I think the author would be upset if you just read the back cover or the inside cover (depending on where she puts this). So go ahead. Open it up. Start on the first page and see where it takes you. You might like my life. Or you might think it''s boring. You tell me.

Large differences in fertility between women with high and low levels of education suggest that schooling may have a direct impact on knowledge and use of contraception. We investigate this issue using information on women in Mexico. In order to identify the causal effect of schooling, we exploit temporal and geographic variation in the number of lower secondary schools built following the extension of compulsory education in Mexico from 6th to 9th grade in 1993. We show that raising females'' schooling beyond 6th grade increases their knowledge of contraception during their reproductive years and increases their propensity to use contraception at sexual debut. This indicates that the impact of schooling on women''s wellbeing extends beyond improved labor market outcomes and includes greater autonomy over their fertility.
