New Study Found No Link Between Immigration and Increased Crime in Forty Years of Data

Robert Adelman, an associate professor of sociology at UB and the paper’s lead author, says that the results are very clear and that the research shows stable and strong evidence that, on average, immigration and crime are not linked across U.S. metropolitan areas. The study found that immigration does not increase assaults and that serious crimes such as burglaries, larceny, robberies and murder are in fact lower in places where immigration levels are high.
Adelman feels strongly that facts are critical in the current political environment. The empirical evidence in not only this study, but other related research as well, shows little to no support for the view that more immigrants lead to increased crime.
According to Adelman, research previously done was based on arrest and offense data. That research showed that overall, native-born Americans are more likely to commit crimes than foreign-born individuals are.
The authors stepped back from the study of individual immigrants for the current study, but rather investigated whether larger scale immigration patterns in communities could be tied to increased crime because of changes in cities. The changes they looked at included the claim that immigrants displace domestic workers from jobs, and the availability of fewer economic opportunities.
A sample of 200 metropolitan areas, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, was drawn. The authors then used census data and uniform crime reporting data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1970 to 2010 – a 40-year period.
Adelman explains that this is a study across time and place and notes that the evidence is clear. He emphasized that the study does not claim that immigrants are never involved in crime, but that communities that undergo demographic change driven by immigration patterns do not experience a substantial increases in any of the types of crime that were examined. The opposite was in fact true – in many cases, crime remained either stable, or actually decreased in communities that assimilated many immigrants.

Tell that to the mother of that 16 year old killed by an illegal alien around the corner from me this week. She'll probably be awestruck with the amount of footnotes.

Well that settles it. Time to open the gates from Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya. We NEED them to reduce our crime.

Is this another one of those studies that doesn't distinguish illegal and legal immigration?

And, I found your flaw. If his data is based on arrest records, he is not counting crimes that go unsolved.

Why am I not surprised another republican lie laid to rest.

Its the same bullshite shell game.. If officials cannot ask the legal status of those involved in police contact events, it not possible to have an accurate database to draw conclusions from.
If illegal criminals are protected by "Sanctuary Cities" or officials that cut people loose before any data on them can be entered, its not possible to have an accurate database to draw conclusions from....rinse and repeat.

No Link Between Immigration and Increased Crime
The concern is with illegal immigration. Right?

Because you're making up a past situation and then projecting onto it based on another flawed, strawman argument.
Basically, your entire existance on this board is a joke. Move along troll.
It's the same behavior seen on the articles of the hate crimes that are obviously false and then proven to be.

Did Jorge Ramos fund that study?

Okay.. Now how about the study that shows the link between illegal immigrants and increased crime.

but, but, but....Trump says we're not safe and they're coming in from the borders to rape our women!
Although there's no data to support Trump's claim, his fear mongering tactics have worked on me and I stand with him. Why? It's warm and comfortable to have my head planted squarely up my arse like a true Trumpkin!

If it's between Increased Crime and Illegal Immigration then the correlation should be 100% (since they all are committing a crime just by being here illegally).
But I'm betting that particular crime isn't being counted

Bench, you can't tell the worshipers of Trump anything. You know they are allergic to rational thinking.
