Job Market Paper. I exploit the 2004 iron ore boom in Northern Sweden to study how improved labor market opportunities affect criminal behavior of young males. The boom reduced property crime by 52% but increased substance-related offenses by 181%, showing that economic shocks reshape the composition of criminal behavior.
