Foundations: Immigration, Crime, and Local Policing
In the early twentieth century, experts equated increased immigration with increased crime and “societal disorganization” (1). The real relationship between immigration and crime is far more complicated and nuanced than those experts believed.

Call for Research: Multilingual Policing in Immigrant Communities
- Preconceived notions create police-immigrant tensions in communities with large immigrant populations (2;3).

- Mentoring programs after school encourages Latino immigrant students to pursue higher education (2;3).
- Latino Youth dropout rates can be mitigated by mentoring and adult supervision (2).
