On the back page of the Ideas section in the January 8th edition, titled under 'Uncommon Knowledge' it cited an upcoming report from the Journal of Labor Economics. (You must be a registered subscriber to read online)
Using data from the FBI´s Uniform Crime Report program and differences in the timing of the reform’s introduction, we find that unilateral divorce caused an increase in violent crime rates of approximately 9 percent during the period 1965-1996.(my emphasis) When we use age at the time of the reform as an additional source of variation, our findings suggest that young adult cohorts, who were children at the time of the reform, were particularly affected. Finally, we show evidence that a potential channel behind our findings is an increase in poverty and inequality among mothers who were “surprised” by the reform.
Because er care about poverty and violence in my community, why does the Boston Globe labeled us 'grumbling social conservatives', rather then concerned citizens?
Why was it neccessary to bring up same-sex marriage, in this research?
And why does the Boston Globe use the term correlation, when the journal cites causation?
