The project is a study of the violence-migration relationship in communities across Latin America and the United States. All levels of the relationship are considered: individual decision making, characteristics of sending and receiving communities, and how migration patterns link communities together. The central questions address the migration behavior of individuals and households and how migration patterns affect both sending and receiving communities. The research extends the empirical and conceptual literatures across a range of substantive areas including crime, demography, migration, neighborhood studies, and network analysis. The broader impacts of the study include understanding questions of interest to policy makers and scholars, particularly those seeking to understand how migration hinders or increases safety. In addition, the project will support the development of a collaborative interdisciplinary research network and the training of future researchers.This project creates a comprehensive multilevel and multinational data file spanning twenty years that links aggregate data on migration and safety to a wealth of individual, household, and community data. Innovative modeling techniques allow for 1) an assessment of the relationship between migration and changes (improvements or reductions) in safety in receiving communities, 2) an examination of if and how migration networks are associated with spatiotemporal patterns in crime, 3) specific tests for individual, family, and community variability in the responsiveness of migration to changes in perceptions of safety, as well as 4) a consideration of how safety and migration can change and re-shape sending communities. Network-based and spatial econometric tools overcome several methodological issues identified in earlier work.

该项目是对拉丁美洲和美国社区暴力与移民关系的研究。 所有层次的关系被认为是：个人决策，发送和接收社区的特点，以及如何移徙模式连接社区在一起。 核心问题涉及个人和家庭的移徙行为，以及移徙模式如何影响始发社区和接收社区。 该研究将经验和概念文献扩展到一系列实质性领域，包括犯罪，人口，移民，邻里研究和网络分析。这项研究的更广泛影响包括了解政策制定者和学者感兴趣的问题，特别是那些试图了解移民如何阻碍或增加安全的人。 此外，该项目还将支持跨学科合作研究网络的发展和未来研究人员的培训，该项目创建了一个跨越20年的多层次和多国综合数据文件，将有关移徙和安全的汇总数据与大量个人、家庭和社区数据联系起来。创新的建模技术允许1）评估迁移和变更之间的关系（2）审查移徙网络是否以及如何与犯罪的时空模式相关联，（3）对个人、家庭和社区在移徙对安全观念变化的反应方面的可变性进行具体检验，以及4）考虑安全和移民如何改变和重新塑造派遣社区。基于网络的空间计量经济学工具克服了在早期工作中发现的几个方法问题。
