              Research on Immigration and Crime, FY 2019
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2019, $673,685)
This project offers the first direct assessment of whether US-born citizens risk of victimization is affected by exposure to a growing number of illegal immigrants. The project will also examine different local immigration law enforcement strategies.
The proposed project will integrate estimates of county-level illegal immigrant populations, data on local immigration policies and immigration law enforcement patterns, and a restricted-use version of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).  The project will also examine whether the presence of selected immigration policies within U.S. communitiesthe implementation of 287(g) program or a sanctuary anti-detainer policyand the actual immigration enforcement tactics employed impacts US-born citizens experience with crime.
Many data sources will be accessed, but four are central to the project: (1) restricted-use data from the NCVS on non-lethal crimes experienced by US-born citizens between 2016-2020; (2) county-level estimates of the percentage of illegal immigrants in the total population and changes in the percentage  of illegal immigrants in the total population since 2000; (3) a county-level database that captures the timing of local adoption of immigration law enforcement policies; and (4) county-level data on immigrant detainer issuance, arrests, removals, and local jail confinement of non-citizens.  Data and a multiple imputation approach developed by the Co-PI and refined by the Migration Policy Institute will be used to estimate the illegal immigrant population of counties.
