Research Tells Us That Immigration Does Not Lead to Higher Crime Rates- A 2018 study published in Criminology analyzed population-level crime rates from all 50 states from 1990 to 2014 and found that the relationship between immigration and crime is “generally negative.” “Increases in the undocumented immigrant population within states are associated with significant decreases in the prevalence of violence,” study author Michael Light writes.
- A 2015 study found that, in the same period, the immigration population more than tripled in the United States; from 1990 to 2013, the violent crime rate decreased by 48 percent, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation data.
- A 2018 study from the Cato Institute found that immigrants have far lower arrest and criminal conviction rates than native-born Americans—a pattern that study author Alex Nowrasteh says holds for all crimes. Homicide conviction rates were 16 percent lower for immigrants than for native-born Americans in Texas in 2015, and criminal convictions overall were 50 percent lower for immigrants.
- Another Cato Institute study looked at prison data, finding that the incarceration rate for native-born Americas was 1.53 percent, compared to 0.85 percent for illegal immigrants and 0.47 percent for legal immigrants.
- A 2014 study of juvenile offenders in the Journal of Youth and Justice found recent immigrants have “significantly lower” rates of violent or property crime, although second-generation immigrants commit crimes at a level more similar to their native-born peers.
