I thought you might find this article about a study, conducted in Chicago on Urban Teenage Employment and its effects on violent crime, fascinating and useful. Of course, nothing will shock you in the article, except for the fact that once presented with the evidence the author does not conclude that the minimum wage should be abolished. She neglects to even bring it up.
