Study Shows Link Between School Choice Attendance and Lower Crime Rates
Persistent attendance in a private school through Milwaukee's Parental Choice Program (MPCP) can decrease the likeliness of subsequent criminal activity.
A University of Arkansas study found that sudents who attended a private school using vouchers through the entirety of high school were 75 percent less likely to commit a felony, 56-78 percent less likely to commit a misdemeanor, and 21-50 percent less likely to be accused of any crime, compared to similar public school students.
