We evaluate the relationships between immigration and crime at the census tract level. Using multiple measures of immigration considering nuances of the immigrant population and a statistical technique allowing for the identification of long- and short-run effects, we provide further evidence of the negative relationship between immigration and crime. However, we note that these relationships are not monolithic. Similar to the original work on social disorganization theory, we find evidence for census tracts with increases in immigration have increased levels of crime because of restricted access to resources and initial settlement in high crime areas. However, over time, our results suggest that greater integration and the development of social capital (longer term immigration) is negatively associated with crime.

移民与犯罪关系:2003-16 年温哥华人口普查区内外的证据

我们在人口普查区评估移民与犯罪之间的关系。我们使用考虑移民人口细微差别的多种移民措施和允许识别长期和短期影响的统计技术,提供移民与犯罪之间负相关关系的进一步证据。然而,我们注意到这些关系并不是单一的。与关于社会解体理论的原始工作类似,我们发现证据表明,随着移民数量的增加,人口普查区的犯罪水平有所增加,因为资源获取受限和高犯罪率地区的初始定居点。然而,随着时间的推移,我们的结果表明,更大程度的融合和社会资本的发展(长期移民)与犯罪呈负相关。
