This brief examines various dimensions of the immigration-crime relationship in the United States. It evaluates a range of theories and arguments asserting an immigration-crime link, reviews studies examining its nature and predictors, and considers the impacts of immigration policy. Synthesizing a diverse body of scholarship across many disciplinary fields, this brief is a comprehensive resource for researchers engaged in questions of linkages between crime and immigration, citizenship, and race/ethnicity, and for those seeking to separate fact from fiction on an issue of great scientific and social importance.

Charis E. Kubrin is Professor of Criminology, Law and Society at the University of California, Irvine. Among other topics, her research examines the immigration-crime nexus across neighborhoods and cities, as well as assesses the impact of immigration policy on crime and public safety.

She is also co-editor of a special issue of Migration Letters focused on immigration and crime. Her work in this area has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Justice. Professor Kubrin has received several national awards for her scholarly contributions including the Ruth Shonle Cavan Young Scholar Award from the American Society of Criminology (for outstanding contributions to the discipline of criminology) and the W.E.B.
