In this paper we study how the presence of adult entertainment establishments affects the incidence of sex crimes. We build a high-frequency daily and weekly panel that combines the exact location of non-self-reported sex crimes with the day of opening and exact location of adult entertainment establishments in New York City. We find that these businesses decrease sex crime by 13% per police precinct one week after the opening, and have no effect on other types of crime. The results suggest that the reduction is mostly driven by potential sex offenders frequenting these establishments rather than committing crimes.

成人娱乐场所对性犯罪的影响：来自纽约市的证据

在本文中，我们研究成人娱乐场所的存在如何影响性犯罪的发生率。我们建立了一个高频每日和每周面板，将非自我报告的性犯罪的确切位置与纽约市成人娱乐场所的开业日期和确切位置结合起来。我们发现，这些企业在开业一周后将每个警察区的性犯罪减少了 13%，并且对其他类型的犯罪没有影响。结果表明，这种减少主要是由于潜在的性犯罪者经常光顾这些场所而不是犯罪。
