Abstract: This paper examines the impact of dual vocational education on crime. We use police data on crimes and offenders, as well as data on the implementation of dual vocational education in Catalonia. Our analysis relies on the staggered adoption of dual vocational education to identify causal effects of education on crime. Our results show a decline in crime rates in those areas adopting dual vocational education. Preliminary work on potential mechanisms point towards incapacitation effects.
