Victims of Crime

We analyse who falls victim of crime, the immediate and long term consequences of victimization for victims and their families and the heterogeneity in these effects using rare administrative data on the population of reported victims in Denmark. Victims are more likely to grow up in disadvantaged environments and to be of lower SES. Moreover, victimization has long-lasting negative effects on the labor market outcomes of victims, and these effects are larger and more persistent for female than for male victims.
