The immigration-crime relationship: Evidence across US metropolitan areas

Article Abstract:

The effect of aspects of immigration on crime rates in metropolitan areas is studied with an attempt specifically to address the effect of immigration on crimes at the macro level. After controlling for a host of demographic and economic characteristics, it is found that immigration rates do not increase crime rates, and some aspects of immigration lessen crime in metropolitan areas.
