September 5, 2003 Keith Ihlanfeldt, Florida State. "Neighborhood Drug Crime and Young Males’ Job Accessibility."

Abstract: Employment programs for disadvantaged male youth have been suggested as a possible new weapon in America’s War on Drugs. In this paper panel data at the neighborhood level are used to investigate the relationship between drug crime and young males’ intra-urban job accessibility. Results obtained for models that control for time and fixed effects, as well as other potential sources of bias, suggest that modest improvements in job access can substantially reduce the amount of drug crime within poor neighborhoods.
