“…In light of these issues, the present study considers whether the pro-social benefits (e.g., informal social control) associated with immigration dampen the risk for reoffending among returning inmates. Research shows that immigration protects against individual recidivism (Piatkowska & Camacho 2022;Ramos, 2022), but prior work has not considered whether this relationship also applies to the routine activities of immigrants-that is, IEAS-and when there is a large cluster of formerly incarcerated individuals living in the community. We also examine whether these relationships are the same or different across the IEAS measures of five ethnic groups.…”

“…Wolff and colleagues (2015) found that formerly adjudicated youth in Florida had a 6% lower likelihood of recidivating if they lived in census tracts with more immigrants. In another study, Piatkowska and Camacho (2022) evaluated nearly 30,000 arrest records from the Pinellas County (FL) Sheriff's Office. They found that exoffenders who resided in communities with higher levels of immigration were significantly less likely to be rearrested.…”

Prior research measures immigration by only accounting for where immigrants live. We argue that this approach misses the activity spaces of immigrants, which also impact crime but are not always located in their residential communities. The present study uses an alternative definition of immigration—immigrant-ethnic activity space (IEAS)—that accounts for both the residential location and routine activities of immigrants. Additionally, given the crime-reducing effects associated with immigration, including for high-risk populations, we consider whether IEAS protects against reoffending for ex-inmates. Using Cox hazards models, we examine the relationship between IEAS and recidivism across the communities of five ethnic groups. Results show that the IEAS of all groups are inversely associated with recidivism. However, ex-prisoner concentration amplifies the risk for recidivism in the IEAS of some groups.

Police administrative data systems are an increasingly accessible and varied source of crime data. This chapter outlines the many human and technological intricacies of working with police crime data as a researcherwhich are often learnt as tricks of the trade over many years. To reveal this 'hidden curriculum', we draw from our experiences of working with and within police organizations in England and New Zealand researching crime and policing. We describe the potential for police data to be used in crime research, highlighting opportunities presented by previously under-utilized sources. We then cover the pitfalls that researchers new to this area should be forewarned about when acquiring, cleaning, analyzing and interpreting police crime data.These arise from the design of data recording systems, (lack of) data completeness and accuracy, and the many pains-technical and bureaucratic-involved in accessing and understanding different data sources.

“…Another notable benefit of immigration is the possibility that higher levels of the foreign-born population serve as a protective factor for individual residents. The evidence from these contextual-level studies reveal that immigrant communities insulate residents from adolescent violence and offending (Sampson et al 2005; Morenoff and Astor 2006; Desmond and Kubrin 2009; Kubrin and Desmond 2015), victimization (Xie and Baumer 2018), and both juvenile and adult reoffending (Piatkowska and Camacho 2022; Wolff et al 2015). To illustrate, Sampson and colleagues (2005) found that individuals living in communities with at least 40 percent immigrants displayed odds of violence that were four-fifths lower than those living in other neighborhoods in Chicago.…”

Objectives: Prior contextual-level studies suggest that individuals who reside in areas with higher concentrations of foreign-born residents engage in less crime and delinquency. Yet, this work has relied on either cross-sectional models or longitudinal data with only baseline measurements of immigration, which tells us little about whether temporal changes in immigrant concentration affect changes in individual-level offending. We addressed this shortcoming by conducting a contextual-level study that uses a within-individual research design. Methods: Using public and restricted data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and U.S. Census data, we employed Bayesian random-effects models to examine the within-individual associations between the percentage of the population that is foreign-born in respondents’ county of residence and two indicators of criminal offending during adolescence and early adulthood. Results: Findings indicated that percent foreign-born was associated with subsequent reductions in criminal arrest but not self-reported offending. Moreover, we found that these effects were similar regardless of whether respondents moved or remained in place over time. Finally, for self-reported offending, the effects of percent foreign-born were stronger for first-generation immigrants, but for arrest, they were similar across generation. Conclusions: Immigrant concentration is a time-varying phenomenon that has the potential to reduce individual-level offending.
