Collaborative Research: Crime Risk and Police Notification

该项目将研究三个问题：(1)美国个人和家庭中非致命性犯罪受害的风险是否显著受到邻近移民集中的影响？(2)附近移民集中是否会显著影响犯罪受害者向警方通报的可能性？以及(3)邻里移民集中对受害风险和警察通知的影响是否因个人种族和民族以及在移民历史、少数民族政治融合和警察性质方面表现出差异的县而不同？这些问题将通过将2007-2014年限制使用NCVS期间60多万户家庭和100万人采访的受害和警方通知数据与美国社区调查和其他来源的数据联系起来。该项目将通过以下方式促进理解：(1)首次在全国范围内分析社区移民集中对向警方报告犯罪的影响；(2)重新评估社区移民集中对犯罪的影响，数据包括报告和未向警方报告的事件；以及(3)考虑社区移民集中的多种衡量标准(外国出生的百分比、外国出生的社区空间聚集或隔离，以及拉美裔和亚洲人的外国出生集中)。

This project will examine three questions: (1) Is the risk of non-lethal criminal victimization among persons and households in the US significantly influenced by neighborhood immigrant concentration? (2) Is the likelihood of police notification among crime victims significantly influenced by neighborhood immigrant concentration? and (3) Do the effects of neighborhood immigrant concentration on victimization risk and police notification differ by individual race and ethnicity, and across counties that exhibit variability in immigration history, minority political incorporation, and the nature of policing? These questions will be addressed by linking data on victimization and police notification from more than 600,000 household and 1 million person interviews from the 2007-2014 restricted-use NCVS to data from the American Community Survey and other sources. This project will advance understanding by: (1) offering the first nationwide analysis of the influence of neighborhood immigrant concentration on reporting crime to the police; (2) reevaluating the impact of neighborhood immigrant concentration on crime with data that include incidents both reported and unreported to the police; and (3) considering multiple measures of neighborhood immigrant concentration (the percentage foreign born, neighborhood spatial clustering or isolation of the foreign born, and foreign born concentration for Latinos and Asians).
