Analyses are carried out using register-based Danish data. We find that higher age at school start lowers the propensity to commit crime, but that this reduction is caused by incapacitation while human capital accumulation is unaffected. Importantly, we also find that the individuals who benefit most from being old-forgrade are those with high latent abilities whereas those with low latent ability seem to be unaffected by being old-for-grade in school.
