註釋The report explores the relationship between education and crime using a natural experimental setting. To do this, the Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) programme, designed to increase participation in post-compulsory education, is evaluated in terms of juvenile crime reduction. The theoretical reasons why education can have an effect on crime education and the methodology to evaluate the EMA programme are addressed. The results from the research estimates of the change in conviction rates for burglary, theft and violent crimes, for 16 to 18 year old males, in EMA areas relative to other areas, are presented. In particular, the effects of the EMA programme on burglary reduction in combination with the Reducing Burglary Initiative, a crime prevention programme introduced by the Home Office in England and Wales around the same time that the EMA were being piloted, are explored.
