Do migrants lead to an increase of crime rates in their host
societies? This highly contentious issue has become a mainstay in
the political debate and a lightning rod for the galvanization of
populist movements, despite often lacking any empirical support. In
this game-changing book, the authors examine what the existing data
actually says, and provide their own novel evidence on the
immigration-crime connection. Taking the unusual approach of
analysing the subject from an economic perspective, the authors
build on the pioneering work of Nobel Prize winner Gary Becker to
construct their innovative arguments. By considering evidence from
different countries, with a focus on establishing causal
relationships, the authors are able to analyse not only if migrants
do cause crime but also whether migration policies can play a role
in shaping incentives for migrants to engage in crime. This book
will appeal to students and academics across the social sciences,
as well as citizens interested in this topical issue.
