论文摘要
我们利用了整个美国各州同性性交的非刑事化的时机的差异，以估算这些法律通过差异和事件研究模型的影响对犯罪的影响。我们提供了第一个证据，表明鸡奸法废除导致行为不检，卖淫和其他性犯罪的逮捕数量减少。此外，我们表明这些废除导致毒品和饮酒的逮捕减少。
We exploit variation in the timing of decriminalization of same-sex sexual intercourse across U.S. states to estimate the impact of these law changes on crime through difference-in-difference and event-study models. We provide the first evidence that sodomy law repeals led to a decline in the number of arrests for disorderly conduct, prostitution, and other sex offenses. Furthermore, we show that these repeals led to a reduction in arrests for drug and alcohol consumption.
