| Description |
Crime and migration has been a subject of debate over many decades. The present review of the
literature attempts to synthesize the available evidence from statistics, crime victimization surveys,
self-report surveys and other sources regarding offending and victimization rates among migrants and
native populations, discriminatory decision-making by victims, police and criminal justice officials,
attitudes to the police and explanations. The paper concludes that crime among migrants is a problem
that policy-makers should not ignore. A number of policy changes are proposed.
