“…The inverse relationship between crime and UBN indicates that some places that have several socioeconomic disadvantages are not necessarily more affected by offenders: our findings clearly show the inverse association between poverty and crime perpetration. Additionally, socioeconomic disadvantages in surrounding neighborhoods can be inversely associated with offending behavior in the local neighborhood [52]. Thus, crime is not necessarily associated with deprivation in a neighborhood and its adjacent areas.…”

This exploratory study identifies spatial patterns of crimes and their associations with the index of Unsatisfied Basic Needs (UBN), with Communitarian Policy Units (CPU) density, as well as with population density. The case study is the Metropolitan District of Quito. Correlation analyses were applied between number of registers of each type of crime, and the UBN index, CPU density and population density measures. The spatial autocorrelation index of Getis-Ord Gi* was calculated to identify hotspots of the different types of crime. Ordinary least squares regressions and geographically weighted regressions considering types of crime as dependent variables, were calculated. Larceny and robbery were found to be the predominant crimes in the study area. An inverse relationship between the UBN index and number of crimes was identified for each type of crime, while positive relationships were found between crimes and CPU density, and between crimes and population density. Significant hotspots of fraud, homicide, larceny, murder, rape and robbery were found in all urban parishes. Additionally, crime hotspots were identified in eastern rural parishes adjacent to urban parishes. This study provides important implications for crime prevention in the Metropolitan District of Quito (MDQ), and the obtained results contribute to the ecology of crime research in the study area.

“…An additional limitation includes the absence of community context regarding the areas to which youth return from residential placement and the prosocial skills he or she has upon return to abate the often challenging transition back into school, community, family, and so on. The findings from a growing body of work have demonstrated that the youth's neighborhood, as well as surrounding extended contexts, matters with respect to concentrated disadvantage and affluence, as well as other contextual measures (Crowder and South, 2011;Gaif, 2015;Vogel and South, 2016). The importance of contextual effects has been extended to juvenile offender recidivism as well (Wolff, Baglivio, Intravia, et al, 2015;Wolff, Baglivio, Piquero, Vaughn, and DeLisi, 2015;Wright, Kim, Chassin, Losoya, and Piquero, 2014; but see Wright and Rodriguez, 2014).…”

Research Summary The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has implemented a process to evaluate the treatment quality of interventions provided statewide in all long‐term residential programs. In the current study, we examine the predictive validity of this treatment quality component in the prediction of recidivism of youth (N = 2,397) who completed juvenile justice residential programs from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. We use hierarchical linear modeling to assess the effects of treatment quality (as youth are nested within programs), controlling for demographic and criminal history factors. The results indicate that higher average treatment quality scores of interventions received within a residential program decreased the likelihood of subsequent arrest, conviction, and reincarceration, whereas the highest treatment quality score of any specific intervention provided within the program decreased the odds of reincarceration only. Policy Implications In this study, we confirm the importance of fidelity and implementation quality in the provision of crime prevention treatment interventions to serious, deep‐end juvenile offenders. Additionally, our results shed light on the ability of a juvenile justice agency to measure treatment quality in a substantively meaningful way with the use of limited additional resources. The services provided to keep communities safe, prevent future offending, and rehabilitate juvenile offenders must be held accountable for producing such outcomes, and one method of measuring such compliance is to evaluate the quality of the interventions with respect to staff training, fidelity adherence, evaluation, and corrective action processes.

“…In addition, relative deprivation exerts negative effects on aspects of behavior which affect the ability to sustain investment in human capital formation. These include impulsivity, self-control, susceptibility to boredom, alcohol consumption (Balsa et al 2014;Mishra and Novakowski 2016), engagement in criminal activities, and passive as well as active bullying at school (Odgers et al 2015;Napoletano et al 2016;Vogel and South 2016). For a more in-depth discussion of the link between relative deprivation and educational attainments, see Esposito and Villaseñor (2019).…”

The importance of being earliest: birth order and educational outcomes along the socioeconomic ladder in Mexico

We study the effect of birth order on educational outcomes in Mexico using 2 million observations from the 2010 Census. We find that the effect of birth order is negative, and a variety of endogeneity and robustness checks suggest a causal interpretation of this finding. We then examine whether these effects vary across households' economic status, and we find significant heterogeneity across absolute as well as relative standards of living, operationalized as household wealth and relative deprivation. Finally, we find that firstborns' advantage is amplified when they are male, and in particular when other siblings are female.
