DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The Boys are Back in Town: The Effects of Child’s Gender on Youth Crime\nAb
 stract:\nUsing a research design based on the randomness of a child’s gende
 r, we address the question whether an exogenous reduction in the criminal a
 ctivity of one individual affects the criminal behavior of other young men 
 who live in the immediate neighborhood. Focusing on very young fathers, who
  in the context we study constitute a high crime group, we first show that 
 the child’s gender is arguably exogenous. We then show that, if the first c
 hild born to a young father is a son rather than a daughter, fathers are co
 nvicted of a significantly lower number of crimes in the first years after 
 the child’s birth. We then illustrate that this event leads to significant 
 reductions not only in criminal convictions among other young men, living i
 n the father’s immediate neighborhood when the child is born, but also in a
  significant reduction in victimization rates for the first five years afte
 r the child’s birth.\n
