Using data from the U.S. National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this chapter investigates the impact of individual drug use on robbery, burglary, theft, and damaging property for juveniles. Using a variety of fixed-effects models that exploit variations over time and between siblings and twins, the results indicate that drug use has a significant impact on the propensity to commit crime. We find that the median impact of cocaine use on the propensity to commit various types of crimes is 11 percentage points. The impact of using inhalants or other drugs is an increase in the propensity to commit crime by 7 percentage points, respectively.
本章利用美国青少年健康全国纵向研究的数据，调查了青少年个人吸毒对抢劫、入室盗窃、盗窃和破坏财产行为的影响。通过使用多种固定效应模型，这些模型利用了随时间以及兄弟姐妹和双胞胎之间的差异，结果表明吸毒对犯罪倾向有重大影响。我们发现，使用可卡因对实施各类犯罪倾向的中位数影响为11个百分点。使用吸入剂或其他毒品的影响分别是犯罪倾向增加7个百分点。
