Article Draft; Introduction[edit]
Lead Immigration and crime refers to perceived or actual relationships between criminal activity and immigration.[edit]
Article body[edit]
The correlation between immigration and crime has been used excessively,[1][2][3] with the media creating false characterizations that immigrants are prone to crime.[4]
Academic literature illustrates multiple conclusions for the relationship between immigration and crime worldwide, but find the United States' immigration either has no correlation on the crime rate or the crime rate is actually reduced by immigration.
A meta-analysis of 51 studies from 1994–2014 on the relationship involving United States immigration and crime concluded that immigration reduces crime, yet the correlation is still very weak.[5]
The mass presence of immigrants in the criminal justice systems of several countries may be due to socioeconomic factors, imprisonment for migration offenses, and racial and ethnic discrimination by police and the judicial system.
The immigration and terrorism being linked together is understudied, but existing research concludes that the link between the two is weak and that repression of the immigrants increases the terror risk.[6][7][8] Research on the correlation between refugee migration and crime is limited, but existing empirical evidence does not prove enough of a relationship between refugee migration and crime.
