Immigration and Crime - Is the Narrative Fact or Fiction?
When it comes to immigration and crime, the current political zeitgeist and public sentiment suggest immigrants are far more likely to engage in illegal acts than those who are American born. But is this narrative based in fact or is it merely fiction? In this talk Dr. Charis Kubrin will answer this question, and share the latest research data regarding our neighbors from around the globe. Charis E. Kubrin is Professor of Criminology, Law and Society and (by courtesy) Sociology at University of California, Irvine. Her research focuses on neighborhood correlates of crime, with an emphasis on race and violent crime. Recent work in this area examines the immigration-crime nexus across neighborhoods and cities, as well as assesses the impact of criminal justice reform on crime rates.
