PrizeAcademic

Description

This project investigates the effects of being raised in a single-parent family on criminal involvement of adolescents. It tests differential effects of parental divorce/separation, parental decease and out-of-wedlock birth on police-registered offending, and investigates the underlying mechanisms by exploring the duration of being raised in a single-parent family, and controls for characteristics of the parent(s), the children and the neighborhood of residence. The project exploits anonymized data of the complete Dutch population available through Statistics Netherlands
