Abstract

Abstract A wide-ranging body of research on the immigration-crime relationship has shown that immigration does not increase community crime levels. However, most prior studies have focused on traditional immigrant destinations or border cities. This study addresses several gaps in this line of research by exploring immigration effects on neighborhood levels of Violent and Property Index crimes for the 2008 to 2014 period in Cincinnati, Ohio – a Midwestern, mid-sized, nontraditional immigrant destination. Overall, our findings are consistent with previous research and indicate that controlling for other factors, the percent foreign-born has largely neutral effects on census tract-level crime rates in Cincinnati. Moreover, our findings show no signs of indirect effects of immigration on crime through neighborhood disadvantage.

中西部一个非传统目的地的移民对犯罪的影响:俄亥俄州辛辛那提市的社区层面分析
一项关于移民与犯罪关系的广泛研究表明,移民不会增加社区犯罪水平。然而,大多数先前的研究都集中在传统的移民目的地或边境城市。本研究通过探讨2008年至2014年期间移民对俄亥俄州辛辛那提市(一个中西部、中等规模、非传统移民目的地)社区暴力和财产指数犯罪水平的影响,解决了这一研究领域的几个空白。总的来说,我们的发现与之前的研究结果一致,并表明在控制其他因素的情况下,外国出生人口的比例对辛辛那提人口普查区的犯罪率基本上没有影响。此外,我们的研究结果没有显示移民通过社区劣势对犯罪产生间接影响的迹象。
