Childhood Exposure to Violence and Nurturing Relationships: The Long-Run Effects on Black Men

Résumé

Black males who witnessed a shooting before turning 12 have 31 percent lower household earnings as adults and are 18 percentage points more likely to engage in violence at age 15. These gaps change little after adjusting for observables, and we present extensive evidence that violent behavior is not driven by selection on unobservables. Since effects are not mediated by incarceration or proxies for gang activity or broader neighborhood effects, we focus on toxic stress as the primary causal mechanism. Providing adolescents with nurturing relationships is almost as beneficial as preventing their exposure to violence and there are complementarities when improving both treatments simultaneously.
