Many people who oppose immigration say that it increases crime. But does immigration really affect crime? Studying a country whose proportion of migrants has tripled in less than ten years, researchers find immigration significantly impacts people鈥檚 perceptions of crime but has no effect on actual crime.

The research, led by Nicolas Ajzenman, a professor of economics at 91社区, shows that while migrants don鈥檛 cause crime rates to increase, false perceptions endure anyway.
