New study shows welfare prevents crime, quite dramatically

I'm pretty sure a job is even better at preventing crime.

You obviously can’t read. California isn’t in the top 30. It’s actually very well off compared to the red states. Sorry bro.

Actually, Kalifornia is #4.

Top 10 are littered with Dimwinger run states.

It's like the left want to be mocked and ridiculed.

They're stupid and Democrats know it.

Giving people free money for doing nothing is a bad idea. Any notion that it helps people doesn't take into consideration the fact that idle people get into trouble.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

How much do you get every month?

Apparently enough to keep him drugged up enough to believe the shit he posts

A safety net actually saves people. You’re for people being saved….right? Compassionate conservatism?

I’m for forcing people out of the welfare system as fast as possible. It’s there to help you for a short while but it ends and you need to do something. Your post was complaining 18 year olds are getting cut off. Of course they are. Get your ass out there and take care of yourself. Why is this even a question? What age do you think it should stop?

As they should be. They’re idiots.

They have a solution for that. Ignore the crime. If there are no arrests, no crime. Magic.

Saves them from what? Getting a job?

Compassionate conservatives above forget that all the poor recipients are GOP voters.

Welfare Recipients by State 2024

The southern states mentioned all have the highest percentage of blacks. Blacks are the ones getting the welfare. And blacks vote 93% Democrat.

They lost me at "published by Oxford University Press".....I knew it was BS.

Welfare prevents crime?

Yeah - here's how that works:

If you give a heroin addict three hundred dollars a month, you can prevent crime for three days out of 30.

From your article: The ten states that have the highest number of SNAP recipients are: California (3,789,000), Texas (3,406,000), Florida (2,847,000), New York (2,661,000), Illinois (1,770,000), Pennsylvania (1,757,000), Georgia (1,424,000), Ohio (1,383,000), North Carolina (1,298,000), and Michigan (1,180,000).

It looks like you choose to only present the data per 100K people to get the results that you desire. As they say, "Figurers lie and ..."

Well, you know the rest.

By law TANF (welfare) has a time limit and work requirement. You probably don’t know what you’re talking about.

The facts are helping the needy out gets better results then throwing them out.

The fact is showing it helps people stay away from crime doesn’t even cover the fact that it improves the life of so many more that wouldn’t turn to crime. This study simply shows how powerful a program can be targeted at people who need it.

Um, no, those are Democratic voters in red states. You should look at a county by county voting demographics map in red states. You will find the ‘poor” counties vote heavily Democratic while the “rich” ones vote Republican.

Not surprising to human beings but this study found that public welfare programs in the US prevent crime and create better outcomes for people.

New study shows welfare prevents crime, quite dramatically

A new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Economics indicates that removing cash welfare from children when they reach age 18 greatly increases the chances that they will face criminal justice charges in subsequent years.

A new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that removing cash welfare from children when they reach age 18 greatly increases the chances that they will face criminal justice charges in subsequent years.

Supplemental Security Income is a United States program that provides payments to people with disabilities who have low incomes. Children qualify for the program based on their disability status and their parents' low income and assets. Until 1996 children automatically continued to qualify for the adult program when they reached 18 years old unless their incomes increased.

As part of changes made to US social welfare programs in 1996 the US Social Security Administration began to reevaluate children receiving SSI when they turned 18 using different, adult, medical eligibility criteria. The Social Security Administration began removing about 40% of children receiving benefits when they turned 18. This process disproportionately removes children with mental and behavioral conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Using data from the Social Security Administration and the Criminal Justice Administrative Records System researchers estimated the effect of losing Supplemental Security Income benefits at age 18 on criminal justice and employment outcomes over the next two decades. By comparing records of children with an 18th birthday after the date of welfare reform enactment on August 22, 1996, and those born earlier (who were allowed onto the adult program without review) the researchers were able to estimate the effect of losing benefits on the lives of the affected youth.

So what it really says is that those who are raised on welfare become criminals when they reach 18 or older, not surprised.

Dumbass. Every state has rich and poor people. Only red states have more poor people on welfare because generally everything about those states is worse: Education levels, Medical facilities, job opportunities, housing values, medium income, violence….. and yes, more welfare.

Not true at all in my small Southern town where we have higher than average educational levels, fantastic medical options and job opportunities, far higher than average income, far LESS violence and crime and very little welfare. Granted, in other parts of the state, that is not the case. What I am telling you is that my town is heavily Republican. Some other parts of the state, particularly the ones that are poor, are heavily Democratic.
