Dear Bluesky: please send me your favorite papers on immigration and crime. Preferably causal.

Comments

Do you want to include those that show immigrants are more likely than average to be victims of crime or are you looking at perpetrators only?

I'm on mobile but I should be able to find a few from a project I did a few years back.

Hi Lauren! I’ve taught these papers (among others) in my economics of crime class.

amazing, I cite all of those

(I am double-checking with twitter to make sure I'm not missing anything super obvious!)

Ok, sweet. @atribinu.bsky.social has a neat paper on Venezuelan migration to Colombia that should be there too. Ah, a former student of mine also has a VZ->CO paper here (in Spanish): https://revistas.uniandes.edu.co/index.php/dys/article/view/6781

first post is US-only, because frankly I'm 2500 words in based on Ousey and Kubrin 2018, Chalfin 2015, Spenkuch 2014, Amuedo-Dorantes, Bansak and Pozo 2020, Masterson and Yasenov 2021, and Abramitzky, Boustan, Jácome, Pérez and Torres 2024

next probably Europe, then Latin America

also the US is better covered so I can go through a list of common research designs and have examples for each
