Recent research indicates that second-born children, particularly sons, are more prone to delinquency and criminal activities compared to their older siblings. This conclusion is drawn from studies conducted in diverse regions, including Denmark and Florida, which consistently show that second-born boys are 20 to 40 percent more likely to face school disciplinary actions and encounter the criminal justice system than first-born boys. The study, led by MIT economist Joseph Doyle, analyzed data from thousands of children in Denmark and Florida. Despite the cultural and environmental differences between these regions, the findings were remarkably consistent. Second-born boys were more likely to experience school suspensions, juvenile delinquency, and adult criminal behavior than their older siblings. Several factors may contribute to this increased risk among second-born children. First, firstborn children often receive undivided attention from parents, especially during early childhood. The arrival of a second child can divide this attention, potentially leading second-borns to seek attention through negative behaviors. Additionally, second-born children may model behaviors after older siblings, who might themselves engage in rebellious or delinquent activities. The study also suggests that the birth of a second child extends early-childhood parental investments for the first-born, inadvertently splitting parental attention between the two siblings. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing targeted interventions to support second-born children. By recognizing the unique challenges they may face, parents and educators can implement strategies to provide balanced attention and positive role models, potentially mitigating the risk of delinquency.
