description This study examines the effects of a minimum dropout age (MDA) on juvenile crime in the community. The findings are that increasing the MDA from 16 to 18 decreases the crime rate by 9%. The results imply that an MDA greater than 16 reduces crime in the community for individuals aged 16-to-18. Although a higher MDA is primarily intended to increase educational attainment, this policy has a secondary impact on reducing community crime.
