We present evidence that welfare payments in cash significantly increase criminal activities. We exploit the exogenous increase in the payment and the number of beneficiaries given by a major reformulation of the CCT program in Uruguay. The increase in crime is exclusively observed in property crime suggesting the impact is driven by economic reasons. Our findings suggest that more cash available in the streets improves the loot from crime and thus increases the incentives for criminal activities Details: Montevideo, Uruguay: Centro de EconomÃa, Sociedad y Empresa, IEEM Business School, Universidad de Montevideo, 2014. 15p.
