You are invited to our Virtual Learning Café on the effects of income on crime.
The YEF’s Executive Director Jon Yates will be in conversation with Jens Ludwig – Edwin A. and Betty L. Bergman Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, Pritzker Director of the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, co-director of the Education Lab, and codirector of the National Bureau of Economic Research’s working group on the economics of crime.
Jens is the author of ‘does nothing stop a bullet like a job: the effects of income on crime‘ and will discuss whether jobs and income-transfer programmes affect crime. The Crime Lab is a leading organisation for finding what works to keep people safe – and so there is lots we can learn from Jens.
The session will end with a Q&A so you can engage with our brilliant guest speaker.
