DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Boys are Back in Town: The Effe
 cts of Child’s Gender on Youth Crime</strong></p><p style="text-align: just
 ify;">Abstract:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Using a research design 
 based on the randomness of a child’s gender, we address the question whethe
 r an exogenous reduction in the criminal activity of one individual affects
  the criminal behavior of other young men who live in the immediate neighbo
 rhood. Focusing on very young fathers, who in the context we study constitu
 te a high crime group, we first show that the child’s gender is arguably ex
 ogenous. We then show that, if the first child born to a young father is a 
 son rather than a daughter, fathers are convicted of a significantly lower 
 number of crimes in the first years after the child’s birth. We then illust
 rate that this event leads to significant reductions not only in criminal c
 onvictions among other young men, living in the father’s immediate neighbor
 hood when the child is born, but also in a significant reduction in victimi
 zation rates for the first five years after the child’s birth.</p>
